Curried Quinoa and Yam Soup

I love soup.  Here is another great recipe and its is so colourful.

Its way more colourful in real life. I love that my phone as a camera but the colours are a bit off.

2 tbsp oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tsps grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp curry powder
4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/3 cup quinoa
1 (14oz) can diced tomatoes
1 tbsp sucanat
1 medium yam, peeled cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Salt to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Place the oil in a pot set over medium heat. Add the onion, ginger and garlic, and cook 2 minutes. Mix in the curry powder and cook 30 seconds more. Add the stock, quinoa, tomatoes and sugar, and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes, and then add the yam. Simmer until the yams are tender. Season with salt, stir in the cilantro and serve.
