Instructions

Chop the onion, potato, carrots and celery into small to medium pieces and add to a large stockpot.
Slice the chicken into small pieces and add to the stockpot.
Add the tin tomatoes and chicken broth to the stockpot.
Then fill the remainder of the stockpot with water, so it is covering the ingredients.
Place stockpot on the stove at a high temperature with the lid on and bring to the boil, then simmer, covered for a minimum of one hour.
Add the quinoa and bring to the boil again, then simmer, covered for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked.
Add the lemon juice and serve.

Notes

I recommend adding the juice of 1/2 a lemon and checking the taste, before the adding the rest of the lemon.
