Creamy or Chunky Zucchini Soup
Ingredients:
4 Zucchinis
4 Onions
6 cups of water
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Directions:
Dice the zucchini and onions.
Pour Oil into a large pot, and saute the zucchini and onions for about an hour, until soft.
Bring to a boil, and then let simmer for 20 minutes.
Add generous amounts of salt, pepper and garlic powder - keep tasting until it is seasoned enough.
To make the soup creamy, use an immersion blender until the soup becomes a smooth consistency.
For chunky, leave as is.
(I used the immersion blender for about a minute, some of the soup was creamy and some chunky - just the way I like it!)
Garnishes:
To make this soup into something really awesome, I recommend the following. Take a few pieces of gluten free bread (this is what I used: http://www.foodforlife.com/product-catalog/gluten-free-wheat-free-breads/gluten-free/wheat-gluten-free-rice-pecan-bread), spread some butter, sprinkle salt and garlic powder, and toast until the bread is crisp. Once cooled, cut into "cubes" - and you have amazing gluten-free croutons!
I also recommend a dollop of sour cream, or some shredded cheddar cheese.

ReplyDeleteCool! I must ask your Mom for input on this! I love her food. I'll try the fresh dill next time I make it.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the usage of ordinary food items to create such a great nutritional choice.
