• 3 cups water

• 1 cup quinoa

• 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided

• 5 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed

• salt and ground black pepper to taste

• 1 yellow onion, chopped

• 1 cup chopped carrots

• 1 cup chopped celery

• ½ cup chopped red bell pepper

• ½ cup chopped yellow bell pepper

• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic

• 8 cups chicken broth

• 2 cups chopped spinach leaves

• ½ teaspoon dried marjoram

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• ½ teaspoon dried basil

• ½ teaspoon crushed bay leaf

• ⅓ cup cornstarch

• ¼ cup cold water

1. Bring 3 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

2. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

3. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until soft, about 10 minutes.

4. Pour chicken broth into the Dutch oven. Add spinach leaves, marjoram, oregano, basil, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes. Stir in cooked quinoa. Return chicken to the Dutch oven; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

5. Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl. Pour slowly into the Dutch oven; cook, stirring occasionally, until soup thickens, about 1 minute.
