Black Bean Quinoa Soup

"This was adapted from a recipe on drfuhrman.com. I simplified the instructions to make it easier to prepare…..For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)......You can reduce prep time by using frozen pre-chopped vegetables and jarred garlic."

  1. Very good and healthy soup! The only change that I made was adding 2 or 3 more carrots, giving it a bit more color. Very tasty and even better on day two! 9/23/2017: I've made this recipe many times and must add that it freezes very nicely :) I make it often. It's OK to omit the spinach (or use fresh spinach is good), and use one can of black beans with one can of kidney beans.
     
  2. Delish! Very hearty and tasty. At 52 calories a cup or so, you can't beat it. Thanks

In 2011, I saw a PBS Special, 3 Steps to Incredible Health by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It inspired me to change to a Nutritarian cooking style, which focuses on the nutrient density of the foods you eat. Since that time, I have been collecting recipes. I have found a few recipes ready to go but most of them were either too complicated for everyday use or needed some changes to fit with this eating style.
