Warm the oil over medium heat, then sauté the onion for about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and spices and cook 30-60 seconds more.
Add remaining ingredients: italian seasoning, thyme, smoked paprika, quinoa, roasted red peppers, tomatoes (2), and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired and enjoy.
Notes
Makes about 10 cups of soup.Peppers in vinegar are not recommended for this recipe - it will come out very very tangy. You want to use peppers in water or oil or just make your own!
