Black-Eyed Peas and Liquid Smoke

I have decided that one of the best food combinations ever is black-eyes peas and liquid smoke. Here's my latest soup with these scrumptious ingredients.

Mix together in soup pot:

• 4 cups water
• Not-chicken broth cubes (appropriate amt for 4 cups water)
• 1 can diced tomatoes (mine happened to be italian style, and I did not drain them)
• 24 ounces mixed frozen veggies (I used green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots)
• 1 can black-eyed peas
• Onion powder (1-2 tsps?)
• Basil, oregano, and parsley (1/2 - 1 tbsp each?)
• Lots of minced garlic (4-6 cloves)
• 1 tsp liquid smoke
• About 3/4 cup quinoa

Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer. Cover loosely and simmer for about 15 minutes.
