Bring water to a boil in a large soup pot. Place the chicken frame, along with some salt and a sprig of rosemary into the pot of water. Let simmer on medium or medium-low for at least an hour and a half.
Strain the broth.
Pour the strained broth back into the pot, and bring back up to a simmer. Toss in the carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms, chopped herbs, pepper, salt, lemon juice and lemon peel, and cover. Let simmer for another 15 minutes.
Add in the uncooked red quinoa and cover, stirring occasionally.
In the last 7-8 minutes of cooking, add cooked chicken and pasta. Once the noodles are cooked through, it’s ready to serve!
