I have a thing for meal prep and nourishing my body. Kind of like how I have a thing for eating my greens, going gym and drinking loads of water. This sort of stuff has become second nature for me and I wanted to share with you this soup recipe that will make food prep that much more delicious. Do not be intimidated if you do not food prep, this soup can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere!

This recipe was inspired by my need for something comforting and warming as we get through these cold days here in Canada! It was adapted by a lot of my soup and curry recipes; which are all great sources of nutrients and vegetables.

This recipe requires a little over 10 ingredients (so worth it), simple methods and less than one hour to prepare! Your meal prepping will never be the same and I assure you that there will be far less mess left if your kitchen after you try this simple meal.

Do you use cooked quinoa?
Hey Sweetie, No I use uncooked quinoa! Hope you enjoyed it!
What is EVOO?
Hi Carole! It’s extra virgin olive oil 🙂
Sorry Maria,
I do not like coconut milk, can I use more vegetable stock or tomato puree? as I really would like to make this soup
Hey Carole!
Sure, or even just a bit or almond milk or something to give it that slight creamy texture!
