This soup warms the soul and solves the calories dilemma with its 220 calories in your Lunchbox Thermos Jar, or 98 calories if you skip the cream! We advise adding a splash of cream into the soup (or butter!), but even without, this is a really ultra tasty soup.
Once cooked until soft, zucchinis thick the soup. No need to add potato or cornflour, the thicken it. The cream stirred in at the end isn’t for thickening, it’s for flavour.
This recipe makes a pretty big pot of this soup. In fact, it will get 5 servings. Make a big pot as:
- it freezes well; and
- this is the perfect “go to” recipe
Little tip for a basic homemade vegetable broth
A good practiceI is to store all veggie offcuts in large plastic bags and store them in the fridge.
For a 4 litre broth you need 6 cups of water, many veggie scraps to load and herbs: a quartered onion, 3 garlic cloves minced, big pinch of pepper and 2 bay leaves.
Simmer away for 40 minutes – 1 hour lid off, reducing it right until you have 3 cups of liquid.
Straine and squeeze out liquid from veggies.
