Soup is a favorite winter meal of mine—a big hot bowl of soup on a cold day is just so warm and comforting! And if you like veggies, this Zucchini-Vegetable Soup is a good one to try. In addition to zucchini, it’s also made with green beans, chopped onion, and sliced carrots, all cooked until tender in a tomato–vegetable broth (or you can substitute chicken or beef broth instead).
There’s some chopping and slicing of veggies involved in making this, but it’s worth the time it takes! You can seed your zucchini before slicing it if you want, but if you don’t mind having some seeds in your soup, you can just slice it without seeding, which is what I did.

Tasty Nancy! I wish I had some zucchini to make this, but I’ve not found any that look good here for a while! I’ll still make soup!

Yes, sometimes it can be hard to find some good zucchini this time of year! This is a great soup in the summer, too, when there’s lots of zucchini growing! 🙂
