We’ve had a seasonably warm fall, which I’ve been loving because I am not ready for snow, but I have been craving that crisp, cool air. Well, it finally cooled off over the weekend so I made a big pot of Mushroom Quinoa Soup to warm us up! Yay for soup weather!

  1. I make a similar soup all the time. It’s on my blog too. It’s the perfect dinner when I want something light and comforting or extra room for dessert ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. It’s just the color of the broth. I used Trader Joe’s vegetable broth and it is darker in color. If you use a different broth the color will be lighter.

  2. It’s raining cats and dogs here in Denver today and I think this soup sounds like the perfect way to warm up!

  3. there’s really nothing better than a piece of crusty bread with soup on a cold day! going to be putting this recipe in my arsenal

  4. This looks amazing! I have had good and bad experiences with quinoa so I might substitute rice instead but otherwise this looks fantastic!

  5. I love so many of your recipes that I trusted this to be delicious, too. I made a quick run to the grocery for a few things and made this for lunch. What a treat! I froze half and will devour the rest. Thank you!

  6. Just made this for dinner. It was delicious! Normally my husband isn’t a fan of a meal without meat, but he was raving about it. I’ll definitely be making again ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. I don’t generally have vegetable broth on hand. If I go with either chicken or beef broth, which would you recommend?

  8. I made it and tbh it was a bit lacking. I used quite a simple vegetable stock and it ended up looking nothing like the picture. It needed a lot of salt & pepper to give it any decent flavour. Perhaps if you use a good vegetable broth to start with then it would be good, but the recipe itself has less flavour than I would like. Could do with some extra umami.

  9. sounds wonderful & would like to make it soon. However, I need to know the calories, carbs, sugar & protein. Could you plz add to all your recipes. I am on a strict diet & would like to know. Thx very much.

    Made this recipe and put it into containers for work. Weather today is -33C This soup reheats very well for lunch. I love the fresh thyme that gave it the flavour! Sooooo delicious. I was originally concerned when I made this soup that the quinoa would get really big and mushy and soak up a lot of the broth but it didn’t. If anything it added a terrific texture and I wished there was more quinoa. Next time I’m going to add more mushrooms and more quinoa.

  11. Do you think this would work with some broccoli in it? I have a massive head of broccoli in the fridge and don’t want it to go to waste

    This soup came out amazing and full of flavor! I donโ€™t really like quinoa, so I substituted a brown rice mix which was just as wonderful. Highly recommend this soup, it will be one of my new favorites for fall and winter!

    I love this recipe! I make it multiple times per year and freeze individual servings for my lunch prepping! I store it in mason jar size and then add fresh spinach to eat when I heat it up! That is the only change I make to the recipe because it is just perfect. I share it with everyone. Thank you!

    This recipe is really bland. It needs sooooo much salt to give it flavor. Itโ€™s not terrible but I wouldnโ€™t make it again.

  15. This is a yummy recipe. I added cut up kale just before pouring in the liquid.
    Prep time is at least 20 min, not 10.

    Hi there excellent soup. I added a can of romano beans to make it more hearty. Loved everthing that’s in it.

    Thanks
