Since it is now officially fall and there is a chill in the air, it is the perfect time of year to make delicious homemade soups. I love this recipe because it is not only easy and tasty, but also incredibly healthy and only 152 calories per 1 1/2 cup serving. This recipe makes 4 servings.
Zucchini and Potato Soup

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

5. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes.

| So much steam! :) |
6. Serve into bowls and garnish with Parmesan cheese or sharp cheddar cheese slices! The cheese makes it even more delicious but it does add extra calories! :)
Enjoy!

That looks delicious! I love zucchini, so I'll have to give this one a try. Chris is not a soup lover so we don't make too much in our house, but I love soup, my favorite is creamy broccoli, not the healthiest but very delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! It is yummy, especially with the cheese on top! I love creamy broccoli too, and most other creamy soups as well! I need to find a good recipe for creamy potato or potato cheese. Matt isn't big on soups as a meal either - he likes them as an appetizer or with something else, but this soup fills me up so fast!
DeleteIt looks so delicious! :) I love soup so much. Been to Romania 4 times and surrvived by eating (the worlds best?) soup. I will give this a try and see how it is! Plus it is healthy too, thank you :)
