Rainbow Soup

I am always trying to rotate the veggies, grains and legumes in my soups. This recipe was surprisingly sweet because of the parsnips, deliciously filling from the chunkiness and hearty due to the beans and quinoa. Toddlers and adults all approved!

I blended the soup for the toddlers because it was pretty chunky and I didn’t want the spinach to be difficult for my little guy to chew.

Definitely worth a try!

Recipe Notes

Use organic ingredients, if possible. If using canned beans, look for "no salt added" and "BPA free". The soup is great the next day or for freezing. By Tracy Posillico
