It's a simple recipe, too. I had to make quite a few substitutions to make this using pantry-friendly ingredients, but the flavor is incredibly close to the original recipe. Unfortunately, my picture doesn't do it justice, but you definitely need to try this easy, yummy soup.
It's also low-calorie, at about 68 calories per cup!

INGREDIENTS
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: about 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Tbsp. oil (I like avocado oil, but any kind will do)
- 6 Tbsp. dry butter powder (I like this kind; also available here and here. If using butter flavor shortening as a butter substitute, eliminate the 2 Tbsp. water and the oil.)
- 2 Tbsp. water + 4 c. water
- 6 Tbsp. flour
- 4 tsp. chicken bouillon
- 4 c. (1 quart) shelf-stable milk (I used Gossner milk for this recipe and liked it a lot. Alternatively, use any of these substitutes listed here.)
- 2 1/2 c. freeze-dried zucchini (I like this kind; also available here and here.)
DIRECTIONS
In a large soup pot, over medium heat, whisk together oil, butter powder, and 2 Tbsp. water. Whisk in flour. Pour in a little of the 4 c. water and whisk until smooth, stirring over the heat until the mixture thickens. Whisk in the bouillon, then slowly whisk in the remainder of the water. Stir in the milk and the dried zucchini. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. As soon as the soup boils, lower the heat to low and stir well. Cover the pot with a lid and let simmer about 15 minutes.

DeleteHi Jennifer! Today, I made some chicken noodle soup since it is cold and snowy outside. I'm going to pin this recipe so I can revisit it later. It would have been the perfect soup for this chilly, snowy day. Thank you for sharing it with us at The Crazy Little Lovebirds link party #29!
DeleteYes, I am a huge fan of soup on a cold, snowy day! Thanks for the Pin!
DeleteI have never tried a zucchini soup before but I do love all things zucchini.
ReplyDeleteI had never tried a zucchini soup myself, Joanne, until this one. The original recipe calls for chopped zucchini and grated carrot (both fresh, of course), so when I adjusted it to be pantry-friendly, I found this to be the winner. If you love zucchini, you should definitely try this. So yummy. :)
DeleteThis looks good and sounds easy enough. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
