Drizzle the oil into a large pan and cook the onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes on a low heat until softened. Add the turmeric, dried thyme and sweet paprika, stir well and cook for a further minute or so.
Add the vegetables, rinsed quinoa and vegetable stock. Give it a good stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, pour in the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar and allow to cook on a low-medium heat for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked through and the tails of the quinoa have opened.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into your bowls and sprinkle over the fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
- There is no need to cook the quinoa before adding to the soup. Do however rinse it beforehand.
- Vegetables can be swapped in and out for those you have to hand.
- Make sure the 'tails' of the quinoa have opened at the end of cook time. This tells you when they are cooked through. Keep on the heat for a little longer if required.
- If the soup requires it, or you prefer a more 'brothy' consistency, add a little more vegetable stock.
