The blend of lentils, quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat combined with vegetables in this hearty soup leaves us with an incredibly high fibre, nutrient dense meal packed with plant protein and phytonutrients.

Use whatever veggies you have on hand, and go for a low sodium vegetable stock to avoid the health implications of consuming too much sodium.
