    I love soups, especially vegetable soups.  I eat them all year long, but there's something about a warm, comforting bowl of soup on a cold winter day.  

    This one is easy to prepare and so delicious, no one would suspect how crazy healthy it is.  I won't tell if you won't tell.

    Sidenote:  the colors of this soup are festive enough for the holidays or even Christmas dinner! Check out how pretty it looks even before you pour the vegetable broth in...

    If you are looking for some more healthy out recipes, you will love this Creamy Cauliflower Soup, Slow Cooker Thai Curried Chicken Soup, Creamy Asparagus Soup and definitely this Slow Cooker Ham and Cheese Cauliflower Soup!

    All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!

    Recipe Tips

    I used 1 can of diced tomatoes and 2 cups or sliced grape tomatoes to make this vegetable soup because I wanted to use up the fresh tomatoes before they went bad.  

    Feel free to us whatever you have in the house.  Keep things simple and convenient and use what you have already.

    I love cooking with quinoa.  Quinoa is a seed that is actually a complete protein (it contains all of the essential amino acids in it) and the beans also add more protein and fiber too.  

    I add the kale at the end for the last few minutes so it remains a little crisp and bright green.  I do not like when any leafy greens turn brown from being overcooked.  

    So eat up and enjoy, this soup that is guilt-free, plant-based and packed with flavor!

      This is just an amazing recipe. I do not enough quinoa or soup so this will get me eating them both at the same time.
