As I’ve stated in the manifesto I wrote in the About Me page, I am currently cooking one soup per week. This week I share a delicious and easy zucchini soup recipe, served with feta, roasted sweet peppers and this great crispy focaccia with garlic and rosemary.
Cooking time: 20 min preparation, 50 min cooking – waiting time
For 6 servings
[twocol_one] [ingredients title=”Ingredients”]- 4 zucchinis
- 2 carrots
- 1 parsnip
- 1 yellow onion
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tbsp green pesto
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5l water
- 100g feta cheese
- 6 sweet red peppers
- 1 garlic and rosemary focaccia
Slice the garlic and chop the other vegetables. You don’t have to chop them too finely, as you will blend them anyway, but they will get done faster if they are cut in small pieces.
Heat the oil in a large pot and fry the garlic, rosemary and fennel seeds for 1 minute, making sure it doesn’t burn. Sauté the onions together with the garlic and aromatics.
Add the vegetables, salt, pepper and the water. Cover the pot and boil for 50 minutes on medium heat.
In the meantime roast the peppers using the grill mode of your oven. Remove the skins and chop finely. Set aside.
Once the soup boiled, blend it into a cream. Add pesto and mix well.
Serve the soup warm with crushed feta cheese, roasted peppers and focaccia.
Enjoy!
Love, happyholism and nom-nom,
Ioana

I made this today and it turned out really good!!! thanks.
I am assuming you add the roasted red pepper at the end, but don’t actually immersion blend it…
Thank you, your comment makes me very happy and I’m happy you liked it! Yes, I did add the roasted peppers at the end 🙂 Have a lovely day, and please let me know if you cook any other recipes from my blog, would be really excited to receive more feedback!
Just curious. The recipe doesn’t indicate to saute the onions. I’ve never put raw onions into a soup. Is this step missing?
Hey there, indeed, I did not sauté the onions when I made this soup. When you boil the veggies for a while, it’s actually fine not doing it, but if I had to make this soup again now, 2 years later, I would probably sauté the onions. 🙂 Thanks for flagging this, I’ll also edit the recipe and add this as an extra step. Actually, at the moment when I make soup I sauté all the veggies before adding the water. It gives soup an even nicer flavour!
