Soup Season is Upon Us

Soup Season is upon us. The crisp Autumn days are perfect for a warm and comforting meal. I love soups from a nutritional stance, as they tend to be high in nutrient density (ie nutrients compared to energy) and are also hydrating. The colder weather can sometime signal a decrease in fluid intake, so soups help to fill-in the hydration gaps during these months. The following recipe is an elevated tomato soup with lots of veggies and complete plant proteins. The spice blend is what makes it extra special and a go-to Autumn favorite.  Enjoy!

Algerian Tomato Soup

This aromatic dish is infused with a Northern African spice blend. The spices and fresh ingredients make a tasty soup that can be served immediately or prepared beforehand. The quinoa and edamame add a source of complete protein (ie all the essential amino acids) to this vegetarian meal. This recipe has been adapted from the Moosewood Cookbook. 
Ingredients:
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 cups diced onions
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne

  • 3 cups (28oz can) undrained canned chopped tomatoes
  • 4 cups reduced sodium vegetable stock or water 
  • 2 cups diced bell peppers 
  • 2 cups thinly sliced celery
  • 1 cup shelled edamame   
  • 1/2 cup quinoa uncooked
