Meatless pea/lima soup

To make 2 servings use the recipe below--double for 4. This was thick and full of flavor. My hubby loved it and so did I! Nice and hardy.

4 cups of water
1/2 cup dry split green peas
1/4 cup dry baby lima beans
1/8 cup Qunioa
1 yellow onion chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp celery seed
1 carrot, scrubbed and chopped
2 celery stalks chopped
1 white potato chopped
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tab dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp black pepper
can of pearl onions (or fresh pearl onions) optional
Salt if desired

Place water in soup pot. Add the peas, limas, quinoa, yellow onion, (pearl onions if uncooked), bay leaf, and celery seed and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Add the rest and cook an additional 45-60 minutes. (AN altered McDougal recipe)
