For me, soups on all year long. I don’t care how hot it is, soup is always a good choice. Especially quick and easy soups that don’t require having the stove on all day.
This Quinoa Vegetable Soup can be made in about 30 minutes, making it perfect for a weeknight meal. The flavors are light, the vegetables are packed with nutrition, and the quinoa is filling.
Truly, this Vegetable Soup with Quinoa is a meal in itself, but, it’s light enough to be an easy lunch that won’t weigh you down.
If you are looking to add even more staying power, serve it up with some crusty bread, garlic bread, or add some cooked macaroni noodles or orzo to the soup before serving.
A salad is always a good combo choice with soup as well.
Even the kids love this one. Now, that’s a win!
I’ve created this Quinoa Vegetable Soup soup to be enjoyed in the heat of summer, but believe me, you can enjoy this deliciousness into the cooler months too.
These days you can find fresh vegetables and herbs all year long in the grocery stores, but feel free to swap out for your favorites or what’s on sale.
Even a bag of frozen mixed vegetables would work in this soup and be just as tasty!

Thank you for this recipe! I’m making it for the second time this week. This time I’m adding leftover taco meat. It’s gonna be delicious!

Thank you, Christine! So glad to hear you love it. Enjoy!
Joanna Skolnick
Jen could I do this in crock pot?
Jenn S.
Probably, but it would only take a couple of hours. Delicate veggies that you don’t want to turn to mush. 🙂
Jessica
This looks fantastic! I also love soup all year round!
Jenn S.
Thanks, Jessica!

Hi Jenn
Your quinoa vegetable soup is awesome. Even better the next day. What a great left over. Goes great with grilled cheese. I look forward to your next recipe. Thank you so much for sharing and all that you do. : )
Sincerely

Jenn S.
Thank you so much, Bernadette! I’m so happy you love it! Thanks for stopping by to let me know…I appreciate it. Have a great week!
Alisa Fleming
I love that this is made with ingredients I keep on hand. I just need to pick up some fresh basil!
Jenn S.
Well, I wish I could send you some. I have so much basil taking over my garden right now. I’m not complaining though – I’m putting it in everything!
Anjali
Quinoa is one of my favorite things to add to soups, especially when I’m cleaning my fridge out of veggies! Adding it to a pressure cooker! This looks lovely!
Jenn S.
Great idea, Anjali. This soup could probably be made with 1-2 minute time in the pressure cooker. Can’t be that!
Gin
Ooh nice, balsamic! LOL I will totally just tell you now I’m stealing that. This soup looks wonderful, perfect for a nice summer dinner!
Jenn S.
Haha! Glad you love the sound of it, Gin! Balsamic is one of my favorite things – I could drink that stuff! 🙂
Uma
I was thinking to make quinoa soup yesterday. Perfect timings. Thanks!
Jenn S.
Oh perfect! I hope you love this one. Thanks, Uma!

Yay! Soup Every Day! 🙂 Thanks, Nicole!

Haha, I am the most anti-soup person 😛 Definitely not summer either! My mom was “yelling” at me to make some soup sometime soon….I had to let her down gently 😛
Jenn S.
Oh, that’s too bad. You are missing out! I seriously could eat soup every day. Love it so much! Tell your mom to come on over to my house!! 🙂
