I’ve got a great Meatless Monday recipe for you all today. So please join Tina Muir and I to check out all of the fabulous link ups below.
We all know we are supposed to eat the so called “super foods” but how to fit them all into a balanced diet is the question. Well, wonder no more friends! I’ve combined them into one delicious, steamy, healthy bowl of soup. It’s “soup”er easy too! (Couldn’t resist that one). Perfect for a cool fall day and hearty enough to please the whole family.
- 1 onion chopped
- 20 oz package of Butternut Squash-diced
- 1 large Sweet Potato-skin on, diced
- 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
- 15 oz can of Black Beans-rinsed and drained
- 1 Red Pepper-diced
- 48 oz. V-8 juice (spicy or regular)
- 2 Cups of Kale-chopped
- 2/3 Cup Quinoa
- 1 Avocado
- Simply add all ingredients to crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours
- Alternatively, add ingredients to a stock pot, bring to a boil reduce to simmer for 2 hours
- Season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, red pepper
- Garnish with Avocado & serve
That soup does look souper!!! I pinned it for future use! 🙂 Happy Monday and thanks for the link up!

Thanks hope you like it!
Love the idea of using v8 instead of broth or tomato paste, etc. I don’t think I’ve tried that approach yet!

It gives it a lot of flavor and extra veggies.
I went soup and chili crazy with menu planning this week 🙂

Thanks hope you like it-I use the v-8 a lot and really think it’s a great base
Yum! I LOVE soups! Especially now that winter is approaching.
Carmy recently posted…Happy Thanksgiving!
Me too-this is one of my favorites
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.

This reminds me of a chili. I don’t eat ground beef so this would be perfect to try.

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!

Oh my yum! This looks delicious! I love the avocado topping… that sold me! 🙂
Rachel recently posted…Breast Cancer Awareness and Skechers
I am obsessed with avocado too! I could eat them at every meal
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 looks amazing! I love soup and am so glad it’s fall now – yay for soup weather!!
Emily @ Whatever Floats Your Oats recently posted…Foodie Friday: Sunday Suppers
I’m excited for soup weather too! Enjoy
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!!
Laura@ Fit Running Mama recently posted…I LOVE the Weekends!
The veggie stocks have so much salt and the V-8 juice has a great flavor. Hope you like it
Wow this is an amazing link up!! I would use tomato soup vs. V8 but either way that SOUPER soup sounds delicious and hearty!!!! Can you send some over? 🙂

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!
Yes it would! Hope you like it
I will definitely try this one! Love make soup with those flavors.

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!
