- After 6 minutes, see if the tomatoes are cooked and blended well with the quinoa leaving a small orange hint to the quinoa.
- Add more water if desired so as to reach the desired soup consistency. Easy and tasty vegetarian/vegan quinoa soup is ready to serve, make sure to serve the soup hot for best results!
