Preparation

Step 1

Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat and cook onion, garlic, thyme and salt until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juice, broth and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon, 20 minutes. Stir in quinoa.

Ladel soup into bowls and top with eggs and hot sauce. Garnish with more thyme.
