One-hour poached egg on a forest's floor of Swiss chard, morels, candied barley and an impenetrably black licorice sauce. Chunks of Elysian Fields Farm lamb shank with curried sunchoke puree, miso tortellini with shards of turnip confit and red cabbage, cantaloupe sorbet astride anise shortbread surrounded by ham consomme, bento box of cuttlefish and caviar, Meyer-lemon custard and passion fruit, basil-sorbet-topped artichoke; Muscovy duck breast graced with smoked-coconut foam and a clear sauce of Venezuelan chocolate over a subtly sweet tomato-water chutney, hints of anise and Pernod and cipollini onions.
So it's a taste rather than a texture problem? Because certain brands cook up slimy and I make sure I NEVER buy those.
Also it's not that great by itself. You generally have to flavor it and add stuff.

It is both taste and texture but I feel like I could overcome the problem of texture if the taste was really good. It has been a long time since I have made it.
Quinoa has a unique texture but it is one that I like. Are you using the French Vinegarette like a sauce or just a topping?
I put some of the vinaigrette in with the dry couscous before adding the boiling water (in place of plain olive oil). I mixed the rest in after the couscous was finished absorbing the water. You could add it all before cooking, or all after cooking, the taste will be subtler if you add it before.

I'm not a soup fan. It was okay. I'm never gonna get excited about soup...
