I have experimented with zucchinis and squash alot recently, and blending them up into a soup is about as far as I have gotten. It is a wonderful low calories meal (or constant snack) where you are getting tons of nutrition from the zucchini (and whatever other vegetables you choose to blend up!)
Ingrediants:
-Zucchini!!!![ I used about 4 small ones for my last batch. but it just depends how much you want to make.]
-Squash. [I added 1 to my last one. I'm sure you could add more as well.]
-1 Cup or more of vegetable broth (whatever amount you have, or need)
- Water
- Large can of diced tomatoes
- Sliced Onion/Garlic
-Italian Dressing (or whatever works)
- Cumin
- Chilli Powder
- Italian Seasoning
- FLAXSEEDS (for added fibre!!!!)
Recipe:
Sautte onions and garlic with italian dressing and a little broth on bottom of pot. Meanwhile, blend canned tomatoes (or leave some to put in chunks into your soup), and then add them to the pot. bring to a boil along with added water, and vegetable broth. Add chopped zucchinis and squash (and whatever other vegetables you prefer) and leftover tomato chunks. Add in any spices you prefer and let simmer for a while. You can add flax seeds whenever. oh yah don't forget black pepper!!! Once vegetables are softer (maybe 15 minutes after simmering), turn stove off and let cool and then blend everything up in a blender. Add back to your pot, heat back up, and thats it!!!
Yumm!!!
