Directions
While living in Los Angeles for close to 3 years, I got the chance to go to Farmer’s Markets often.
I spoke with many farmers about fresh produce and ways to include more healthy ingredients into dishes.
All of these conversations and research led me to be a vegetarian for a few months.
One of the vegetables I truly grew to love was zucchini. Zucchini is incredibly versatile, it can be roasted, sautéed, steamed and even eaten raw. It also absorbs a great amount of flavor and can be used in all kinds of cuisines.
This zucchini soup is so easy and has very few ingredients, yet it is creamy and has a ton of flavor – you will be surprised! Oh – and did I mention it’s vegan? Let’s get to it!
Steps
1 Done 10 minutes | Steam the VegetablesCut the zucchini and onion into rough chunks and add them to a steam basket with 1 or 2 whole garlic cloves. Add about a cup of water to a pot, add the steam basket on top, cover and steam for about 10 minutes. The water should not be touching the steam basket. |
2 Done 3 minutes | BlendAfter the veggies have steamed, add them to a blender with 1 cup of water, 1 tbsp of virgin coconut oil, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of white balsamic vinegar, and 1 tsp of herb de provence (this is optional). Start by blending on low then increase to high. Blend for about 2-3 minutes or until the soup is creamy. Now get a spoon and give it a taste; adjust the seasonings if needed. |
3 Done | Eat!Guess what? The soup is done! I like to add a drizzle of olive oil to my soup and some crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat kick. I also found these beautiful, edible flowers and added them on top! Hope you give this easy recipe a try! |
