Vegetable Quinoa Soup

Vegetable Quinoa Soup

Vegetable Quinoa Soup is a perfect soup for this time of year.  It is a healthy soup that is simple to make and delicious. It’s a great way to start off the year with a gluten free, vegan soup that is good for you. I think you will enjoy this hearty soup.

Vegetable Quinoa Soup is very flavorful. The quinoa and the beans will keep you full and satisfied, and it is full of hearty vegetables. The base of this soup is a tomato broth. It will  freeze well if you want to make a batch as meal prep and have some to put away for another time. You can make this quinoa soup recipe ahead of time. It is one of those recipes that will be better on the next day.

Quinoa is an ancient grain that is a plant-based protein, high in fiber. It is also full of nutrients and healthy for you. Check out some other quinoa recipes like  Butternut Squash Quinoa Salad,Apple Cinnamon Quinoa, Zucchini Corn Quinoa Salad, Lemon Asparagus Quinoa, and Lemon Chive Quinoa Patties.

SOME THINGS TO KNOW:

SUBSTITUTIONS:

You can use many different types of beans in this recipe. Black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans would be good options.

This recipe calls for Rainbow Quinoa. Red quinoa or white quinoa would be a good alternative.

You could use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth in this quinoa vegetable soup if you do not need to keep it a vegetarian recipe.

Italian seasoning can be substituted for the oregano and basil.

HOW TO STORE:

You can keep any leftover soup in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-5 days.

This soup will freeze well and can be kept in the freezer for 2-3 months. Make sure it is placed into an airtight freezer container. Defrost the soup overnight in the refrigerator.

REHEATING:

Place the leftover soup into a large soup pot to reheat over medium low heat.
