This quinoa white bean soup is a hearty, classic, flavorful hug in a bowl. Made with a parmesan-tomato broth, buttery white beans and satisfying quinoa, it’s topped with crunchy dijon croutons and tastes fantastic. Definitely a must make!

Soup season is in full effect! 

I will never get enough.

This quinoa white bean soup is so delicious, made with fire roasted tomatoes and buttery cannellini beans in a parmesan-flavored broth. It’s so satisfying and the perfect easy lunch soup to make ahead of time. 

It’s a cozy hug on a chilly day.

And why yes, I am adamant on seeing how many different soups I can make by using all my favorite ingredients in different ways.

Why do you ask?!?!

This may sound crazy, but this recipe tastes like the old-school, old-fashioned vegetable soup. You know the one?

For some crazy reason, it reminds me of a school cafeteria. In a good way though!

It’s like my grandma’s old vegetable soup recipe. A tomato-based broth with classic vegetables, but this time a little glow up. 

Quinoa, for texture and satiety. 

White beans, for some buttery flavor and more staying power.

Two things I love!!

Just like my taco soup that I shared last week, this is another one of my lunch soups that I really enjoy. 

It’s a perfect soup to make ahead of time. I (of course!) add a parmesan rind to the broth while it simmers which delivers incredible, rich flavor. It gives it an extra boost that makes it taste so special and fancy, while being a totally hands-off trick. 

There’s no doubt that the best part is the crunchy topping! I throw some seasoned dijon croutons on top and they are a game changer. 

Adding that texture on top makes this seem even more filling. It makes it more hearty and tastier. And frankly, just more enjoyable to eat!

Let’s be real though: throwing crunchy homemade croutons on top of any food would make it more enjoyable to eat. 

This is embarrassingly easy. 

Saute the veggies. Add the stock, tomatoes, beans and parm. Simmer, add the quinoa, simmer more and DONE.

It’s that simple. I highly highly encourage you to taste a few times as you go and definitely season more at the end depending on your flavor preferences. It’s all based on the tomatoes, stock and even the parmesan rind that you use.  (more…)
