    This soup is healthy, vegan, super filling and packed with vitamins, nutrients, fiber and protein!

    This Quinoa Vegetable Soup is healthy, vegan and packed with nutrition!I love 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.  Pinky swear.

    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...

    This Quinoa Vegetable Soup is healthy, vegan and delicious!

    I used 1 can of diced tomatoes and 2 cups or sliced grape tomatoes because I wanted to use up the fresh tomatoes before they went bad.  Feel free to us whatever you have in the house.  I like using both of them.  I despise throwing away food that goes bad.  Especially organic produce that's more expensive….Grrrr...

    This Quinoa Vegetable Soup is hearty, vegan and delicious!

    I love cooking with quinoa too since I am not a huge meat eater.  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.  So eat up and enjoy, this soup is guilt-free and packed with flavor!

    This Quinoa Vegetable Soup is hearty, healthy and delicious! #veganI 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.  Yuck.

    This Quinoa Vegetable Soup is hearty, vegan and delicious!I hope you love this too! Thanks for stopping by!

      Just stumbled upon this amazing soup recipe. Still cold here in the tri-state area so it's still soup season and this soup is just what the doctor ordered

      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.
