Did you all see the snow that hit the East coast?  Holy Moly!  My in laws got over three feet of snow.  We were fortunate that we didn't get a ton, but it was still cold and a hearty healthy soup was definitely necessary.  This Quinoa Pasta & Kale Tomato Soup is hearty and full of healthy ingredients that will make you want to come back for more.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Redpack Tomatoes for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have a serious affinity for tomato soup.  I would eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The only problem is that I have a tendency to like a creamy tomato soup like our Tomato Bisque, but I wanted something healthier this time around.  The great thing about this Quinoa Pasta & Kale Tomato Soup is that my girls {2.5 and 6 years old} had no idea there were so many healthy ingredients in the soup.  I especially loved the fact that it came together so easy thanks to Redpack Tomatoes.  Redpack Tomatoes are Family Farmed and Family Owned so you know you are a getting a time tested product since it is a fourth generation family owned product.  They also guarantee a seed to shelf guarantee that the product is non-GMO verified.  As soon as you open the can you can see the vibrant color of the tomatoes.

I used Redpack Canned Crushed Tomatoes in Puree to create the perfect consistency for the soup.  I did not want to have to blend the soup since I had so many other fresh vegetables in the soup so the crushed tomatoes were the perfect consistency.  My girls loved the fact that there were chunks in the soup.  All too often when we have soup for dinner they get discouraged when it is a straight broth.  They need to see and taste the heartiness of the food that they are consuming.   Otherwise, it's too much effort to constantly spoon a liquid for themselves.  They'd rather have that in a cup.
