While the quinoa is cooking, sauté the onions, celery, and broccoli. Pour in the vegetable broth and simmer. To make the pesto, just pulse together a couple handfuls of fresh basil, cilantro, and parsley. Next, stir the pesto and green peas into the pot with the soup. Let simmer for another two minutes. Season with salt and black pepper and serve in bowls. Add the cooked quinoa to each bowl of soup, and enjoy!
