I’m still all about the quick and easy recipes right now. Somehow, even though Finley is now in nursery a couple of days I feel like I have less time! However, I’m doing my best to ensure that doesn’t mean I, or the rest of the family, have to eat poorly. Every two weeks I get a lovely organic veg box from Riverford and I enjoy creating random meals with it’s contents.
Recently it’s almost always contained tomatoes which I really don’t like raw. I created this really easy but delicious soup to use them up.
It’s as easy as popping a tray of veg in the oven, blending them up with stock and stirring through half a pack of cooked quinoa. It’s so delicious too!

Naturally I topped mine with avocado, so good!
Have you ever had a soup containing grains? How often do you make your own soup?
I have not made soup for nearly a year being here in Sydney! The cooler temperatures are starting to appear though – I even am wearing a jumper in the evening, breaking news I know ;)
Adding this to a list of wintery things to make. I love a good tomato soup, reminds me of being a kid.
do you think this be ok with tinned tomatoes? i have tried a few quinoa recipes and just not liked them but think trying in a soup might be good
It should be, I would be tempted to add some garlic though for more flavour :-)
Ooh I love super quick and easy meals, this looks and sounds gorgeous. Definitely something I’m keen to make for lunch over the next few days, thanks Laura!

I love adding quinoa to soups. It really makes them much more of a meal.
Sounds delicious and easy. Love that you added avocados as well. Yum.
I love avocado on top of soup – well intact on top of everything! i know how you feel about time – I am making use of my slow cooker a lot these day as well as lots of stir frys!
This soup looks divine Laura! I’m also not a huge fan of raw tomatoes but love them cooked.
This looks so delicious- I love soups but plain vegetable ones are never that filling for very long. I like lentils in soup, but have never thought about quinoa- it sounds fab.
Oh this looks yum! I love quick soup. I only discovered making my own soup last year (not sure how this had escaped me!!) and it’s so ridiculously easy. Why would anyone buy a can of it?! I’ll definitely try this recipe out :)
I love this recipe Laura, it’s so simple! I can even tell my looking at your photos how amazing the avocado will be as a topping…I bet it goes all melty.
I have a three-day weekend coming up so definitely going to make some of this for lunches next week!

Hello,I really like your recipe. I have a question – in your ingrediences you mention chicken or veg soup but in your instructions a stock.Is the stock the right ingredience?Thank you.
This actually looks delicious, i never expected that Vegan food look so good, maybe it is the avocado but i sure will try this on these long winter months…
Hope you enjoy!
