Zucchini Soup Recipe

Course Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 can cannellini beans drained
  • 3 medium-sized zucchini or yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 5 teaspoons “Better Than Bouillon” vegetable or chicken flavor
  • 5 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • Sour cream
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Crushed potato chips
  • Crispy bacon pieces or croutons

Instructions

  1. Cook the Veggies: In a large pot, combine the sliced onion, zucchini, squash, Better Than Bouillon, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  2. Flavor and Blend: Stir in the garlic powder, thyme, and drained cannellini beans. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot) and puree until smooth.

  3. Season: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.

  4. Garnish: Top with your favorite garnishes. I love adding a sprinkle of sharp cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, and a bit of cracked pepper. For some crunch, potato chips work surprisingly well, but crispy bacon or croutons would also be delicious!
