This light and delicious zucchini soup has fresh lemon flavor and lots of vegetables. The entire family devoured this zucchini soup, I mean having two bowls each and cleaned the pot out completely. They loved it😋. I hope you will too.
About the recipe
The inspiration for a lemon zucchini soup was my abundance of lemons. Loads of lemons in baskets were forcing me to get creative with using them and since it was a Sunday and our typical Sunday soup day I made sure my soup whichever I made had lemons. This zucchini lemon soup is what I conjured up.
Zucchini Lemon Soup
Ingredients:
- 6 zucchinis finely chopped

- 5 cups vegetable broth
- Olive oil
- 2-4 tbsp goat cheese or Greek yogurt (optional)
- Add cooked barley for a more substantial soup (optional)
Directions:
- In a large pot heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until tender. Add all the vegetables, herbs, salt and pepper. Add 1 cup of water, cover and cook vegetables until tender about 10 minutes.
