Super Simple Fennel and Zucchini Soup

– Low Carb, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Dairy Free

November 6, 2015 By Lisa Kelso

This is a great soup. It’s delicious, quick to make, satisfyingly creamy and extremely good for you. You chop 3 vegetables, cook them in broth, and blend them together. Sounds boring doesn’t it? But it’s one of those recipes where the end result is so much better than it’s humble ingredients. This is a creamless creamy soup. A supreme example of the hidden-vegetable technique – where you use vegetables to achieve unexpectedly wonderful results. The secret to the success of this soup is zucchini. When puréed, zucchini make things creamy.

I served it with some grilled chicken sausages and a salad and it was a great and easy dinner. For lunch the next day I cup up one of the leftover sausages and put it into the soup. It’s great that way too. I’ve adapted a recipe from Epicurious, one of my favorite cooking websites.
