This is such a calming, simple, fresh soup recipe by Beth from allrecipes.com. Well, I mean, soup is calming isn’t it? It’s difficult to eat soup in a excited way unlike say, fried chicken or pizza for example where crumbs tend to fly everywhere. This soup is especially therapeutic though.
This is the type of soup you might crave after you’ve been ill, if you’ve had a busy, stressful day or if you just feel like a healthy meal.
It’s a very subtle tasting soup, meaning it doesn’t hit you in the face with any strong flavours, rather, it has more of a full bodied, smooth flavour adding to the fresh taste of spinach, sweetness of leeks, the wholesome texture of quinoa and creaminess from cannellini beans.
You could use your own home made vegie or chicken stock, I have done this in the past and it did add a whole other dimension to be honest, but for a quick, easy meal it’s not absolutely necessary (purists might disagree though and I respect that). I do use a good bought stock, mine is vegan based and all natural.
