In a large soup pot, cook the onion and the garlic in the olive oil over medium low heat until soft, about 5 minutes
While the onion and garlic cook, microwave the frozen squash in a microwave safe bowl for about 4-5 minutes on high.
Put the squash, salsa, and tomato sauce in the pot and stir. Add the black beans, vegetable broth, quinoa, and spices. Stir and raise the heat to high.
Once the chili is boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes. If the liquid level gets too low, add the cup of water.
