    This is a simple zucchini soup, full of the flavours of summer thanks to the basil.   As well as delicious and easy to make, it's low carb, paleo and gluten free too. It's also a great way to use up all your excess summer zucchini's.  

     I love using zucchini's in soups as once blended, they give a very creamy consistency.   Much better than using a potato for a thickener and lower in carbs too!  The basil gives this a great flavour and adds to the green, vibrant colour.   It's like a soup pesto!  Strictly for basil lovers though.

    This zucchini soup is so easy to make (as are most soups really). From shopping bag to the table in 30 minutes you can have a pot of creamy soup which is delicious served with low carbs bread rolls. No thickener is required but this soup has the consistency as if you have sneaked a potato in it.

    It's a filling zucchini soup that is perfect for lunch.  I like to have a bowl of this alongside a cheesy muffin in place of a bread roll.  Two good flavour together. Plus the muffins use zucchini, so it's a great meal to use your zucchini.

    ZUCCHINI SOUP TIPS

    • If you use the older zucchini in the back of your fridge the results may be more water. Fresher and firmer zucchini will give a smoother consistency.
    • This zucchini soup can also be served chilled on a hot day.  Call it a zucchini gazpacho!
