Ingredients
-
1 small garlic clove, finely minced
1 tablespoon shallot, finely chopped
6 tablespoons quinoa, cooked
1 small zucchini, roughly grated or spiralized
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
Generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper
Pinch of chili flakes or cayenne
1 tablespoon grated parmesan
1 small handful basil leaves
4 chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
1/4 to 1/2 cup water (depending on how thick a soup you prefer)
Directions
1. Combine all ingredients in a heatproof jar, making sure to add basil leaves last so they are on top. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
2. When ready to eat, boil water and remove the basil leaves from the jar.
3. Let the boiled water sit for a minute or two before adding it to the jar, leaving a half-inch gap at the top.
4. Stir, cover, and let sit 5 minutes.
5. Stir again, tear the basil leaves and add to the jar, and enjoy.
