6-8
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup carrot, diced
- 1⁄2 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup red pepper, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups green cabbage, diced
- 1⁄2 cup quinoa (regular or whole wheat)
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 10 cups vegetable broth
- 1⁄3 cup fresh basil, chopped
- salt and pepper
directions
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. When oil is hot, add onion, carrots, celery, red pepper, garlic cloves and cabbage. Stir to coat and saute for about 2-3 minutes, until veggies are softened but not browned.
- Add quinoa and stir until mixed in with the vegetables. Saute for another 2 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and broth and simmer on low-medium heat for about 20-30 minutes or until veggies are cooked to your liking. The longer you cook it, the more the quinoa will naturally thicken the soup.
- When soup is done, stir in fresh basil and add salt and pepper to taste.

This soup is fresh and colourful with a great veggie taste. YUM! However I felt it lacked some oomph, maybe one could up the basil, add some acidity and more garlic... I made half the recipe using only 2.5. cups broth as we like our soup on the thick side. l will make this soup again, but with added seasoning.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your creation with us and good luck in the contest!<br/>Made and reviewed for Craze-E Fall 2011.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
