How to Make It
Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is heated (it will pull away from the sides) add the mixed veggies and TLC Original House Seasoning. Cook 5 minutes and add garlic, tomatoes and Rustic Italian Seasoning.
Pour in the quinoa, broth and the water and add the bay leaf. Bring the soup to a boil, then partially cover the pot and reduce heat to a low simmer.
Cook for 15 minutes, remove the lid, add the beans and chopped spinach. Continue simmering for 5 minutes or more, until the spinach has softened.
Remove the pot from heat and remove bay leaf. Stir in the lemon juice and taste the soup. Add more seasonings if desired.
Ladle into bowls and serve with grated parmesan on top.
