Quinua Soup
Last night I was out of food. Not wanting to drive to the supermarket, I searched high and low in my cupboards for something to eat. All that was left was some parmesan cheese. However, I had forgotten about an envelope that was tucked behind the salt and pepper.
An instant mix for quinua soup was all that was left to prevent me from starving (Industria Boliviana). I remember I had saved the soup for a rainy night like that. The instructions were simple enough: 1. Add water and bring to boil. Not even I could mess that up. The simple meal hit the spot on a cool Fall night.

This made me laugh: "Not even I could mess that up" :). This reminds me that some chairo boxes are surviving behind mountains of ingredients in my cupboard.
Here in the Netherlands you can find quinua in the bio stores. Not only that, there is even quinua pasta! I have tried it, it tastes very good with saucy mixes.
P.S. Thanks for the link!

I almost did mess it up. The recipe was in Liters, and in the U.S. we're the ones that are backward (using cups).
