This Quinoa Vegetable Soup is healthy, vegan, super filling and packed with vitamins, nutrients, fiber and protein!
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 Quinoa Vegetable Soup 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.
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!
All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!
Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!
Why You Should Make This Quinoa Vegetable Soup
The colors of this soup are festive enough for the holidays or even Christmas dinner. Loaded with vitamins, minerals, plant based protein and fiber.
Meal prepping is a life saver for me with staying on track with healthy eating. I like to make a double batch of this on Sunday to make sure I have a healthy lunch for the week.
This quinoa vegetable soup also freezes really well if you want to save some for busy nights when you don't have time to cook. I place them in individual containers so I can just pull one out when I need a healthy lunch or dinner.
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 for this quinoa vegetable soup. 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!
