Sweet Potato Quinoa Soup on repeat this week🍲
This recipe is creamy, warming and super flavourful! It’s also vegan (no meat or dairy) and gluten-free. Quinoa is gluten-free (GF), however sometimes there is cross contamination, therefore make sure the quinoa you buy says GF if that’s something you need!
The sweet potatoes in this recipe give a creamy texture and sweet taste. They are also a great antioxidant and loaded with fibre. I like adding sweet potatoes to my soups because they are a lighter ingredient yet have enough fibre to keep you fuller for longer. Quinoa provides a good source of plant-based protein and is high in many minerals such as, manganese, phosphorus, folate, iron and more.
I like to make this recipe on the weekend and then portion it out in containers to eat throughout the week (or freeze). But it’s also great on nights where you don’t really feel like cooking but want to eat something healthy. It’s an easy recipe that only requires 1 pot = heck yes.🙌
