    Sounds delicious! I’ve never thought to try quinoa in soup for some reason. But it seems like it would be a great addition and more protein than barley, pasta, or rice, which is what I usually use in soups.

    mmm… Love Fall soups and red pepper is one of my favorite ingredients with squashes and sweet potatoes!

    This soup looks delicious!! It would be perfect for a cold fall rainy day like today, I can’t wait to try it.

    YOur post was perfect timing for me today. I have a counter full of Avacado’s and I was trying to think of creative ways to use them, aside from salsa:) If I can get the energy to cook today, this may just be what is for dinner!

    I love V-8 in soup (can’t stand it as a drink LOL). I could totally eat this, but I’d be eating it by myself LOL.

      I wouldn’t drink it either but I love it for a soup base. I was the only one who ate this at our house too. I froze it in indiv portions to take out during the week.

    This sounds great– I’d love to swap out the V8 for just veggie stock because I am not a fan of all of the added ingredients in V8– I’m loving and living on soups these days!!

    This soup looks like a must try, especially now that weather is cooling. It would probably be perfect with a piece of multigrain bread!! Thanks for sharing!

  24. Tina muir says

    Oooh this sounds delicious, I love making super meals! Love the play on words there 😉 This sounds like a great meal for a cold day!

  25. Leigha @ The Yooper Girl says

    This looks and sounds amazing!! LOVE that every ingredient is great for you! I made a similar chili to this last year but mine didn’t have butternut squash… that would be so tasty! Love the idea of using V8 too!
