Zucchini Summer Soup

This Zucchini Summer Soup is a very flavorful super easy recipe to make. You can add any seasonal veggies and you will end up with a delicious meal!Just because it is summer doesn’t mean you have to stop eating soup, right? Some people may think summer is not a time to have soup but I like to continue to eat soup all year long. If people from very tropical countries like in northern Brazil where it is summer all year think this way, they never would have soup in there lives, right ? For me, you can have light and fresh soups in the summer and hot and spicy soups in the winter.

Soup is one of my favorite meals and it has been about two months since I last made soup. I missed it a lot because my husband and I used to have soup at least two times a week during fall and winter. You can see how much we love soups of all kinds.

So, today I am sharing with you a light fresh soup for summer. This Zucchini Summer Soup is a very flavorful super easy recipe to make. You can add any seasonal veggies and you will end up with a delicious meal for your busy week days.

About the recipe:

You have to be very careful with the cooking time because zucchini cooks very fast and if you don’t pay attention, your zucchini can be very soggy. So, cook the harder veggies first and then add zucchini. Peas and chickpeas will be added at the end because both are already cooked. And voila, you will have a fresh and delicious soup to enjoy even on the summer!
