The Best Cabbage and Quinoa Soup
I was on the hunt for a hearty winter soup that was filled with veggies. I have made a few versions of cabbage soup before but this time I decided to try a version that was just veggies. I have made a few vegetable soups before but always found the taste rather bland.
I was overjoyed when this one was not! It was so easy to make too.
Ingredients: Makes 8 -10 servings (depending on serving size)
2 carrots; peeled and sliced
2 sticks celery; sliced
1 cup pumpkin (or butternut squash; which is what I had on hand); cooked and mashed.
1 onion; diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 small head cabbage; shredded
3 cloves garlic; minced
14 ounce can diced tomatoes with the juice
6 ounce can tomato paste
6-8 cups broth (vegetable, chicken or beef is up to you)
2 Tablespoons coconut aminos or soy sauce
1 Tablespoon smoked paprika (regular will work too)
2 tsp. dried thyme
1 bunch fresh basil; chopped
1/2 cup quinoa
Making the soup:
Making the soup was so easy! I added all the ingredients except the quinoa to our crock pot and put it on low for the day making sure to give it a good stir.
That looks like a great combination of hearty and healthy!

Thanks! This one really surprised me.
DeleteI really think I would like that soup! It has all things I love. I used to make the WW veg cabbage soup. I really like the cabbage in a soup!
ReplyDeleteI like cabbage in a soup too but rarely think to add it in!
DeleteSounds like the perfect winter meal- thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! It really hit the spot.
DeleteI have only just started eating cabbage, I hated it until late last year but now I love it! This looks and sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how our tastes change so much over time, isn't it?
DeleteThis sounds amazing. Cabbage makes soup so flavorful!
ReplyDeleteOops it’s me BTW!
DeleteIt really does! I never think to add cabbage to any soup.. unless I'm making some version of a cabbage soup. LOL
DeleteThat looks so tasty - my February goal is to cook more healthy meals, so this is perfect! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful goal! Best of luck to you.
DeleteI love the addition of the quinoa, something I am trying to use more of!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I really do like it but so rarely think to use it and it is so nutrient rich.
DeleteI love making soup this time of year! This looks so delicious!

Thank you! I try to make a soup a week during winter since I enjoy eating leftover soups for lunch.
DeleteIt's lunch time now and my mouth is watering. This sounds delicious but I'd have to leave out the celery.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteThe addition of quinoa really ups the soups nutrition. It sounds wonderful! #MMBC
ReplyDeleteIt sure does! I'm trying to use quinoa more often for that reason.
DeleteThis looks really yummy!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh thanks for this thoughtful nourishing recipe! Aloha to you!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Aloha to you as well.
DeleteI never had cabbage soup. But anything with a lot of veggies sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteI bet you'd really like this then!
DeleteOh this sounds fabulous! Thanks and it's on my list now

You're welcome!
DeleteI love how you are so adventurous with recipes! I made a couple of soups from bloggers, and Mike didn't really like them. He just doesn't like thick and creamy soups...which are my favorite!

I tend to like thicker and creamy soups too but I'm trying to get away from them as the creaminess is usually caused by diary.. so I'm trying to embrace the more broth-y soups.
DeleteYum.

Thank you!
DeleteI'm going to make this this week! Whenever I add cabbage to a dish, I'm always glad I did! Sounds hearty and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
