Creamy Zucchini Soup (Budget Meals)

Creamy Zucchini Soup

     If you didn't see already, I'm moving to the city in a few weeks and I'm trying to experiment with some cheaper meal ideas. Last time it was a Sweet Potato Soup, and this time it's some Creamy Zucchini! It was delicious as well, I'm loving these soups!
     This one has some similarities to the sweet potato one, but the process of roasting the vegetables and addition of herbs gives it a completely different layer of flavours. Plus, it was another extremely inexpensive dish!

Yield: 2 meal servings // or // 3 side servings

Ingredients:

4 medium redskin potatoes (or 2 russets)

1 large zucchini or 2 small
1/4 onion sliced

2 cloves garlic

1 tbsp dried herbs (basil, oregano, parsley)

3 tbsp nutritional yeast

Dash of paprika

Dash of cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup plant based milk

1/4 cup water

2 large handfuls of spinach

Instructions:

1. Roast the veggies.
-Potatoes: with herbs and spices for 40 minutes
-Zucchini, onion, and garlic for 20 minutes
2. Add the roasted veggies, water, and plant based milk to a blender, and blend until smooth

3. Add all ingredients to a pot and bring to a simmer with the spinach, salt, and pepper.

 

I had this soup as a side with some toasted french bread and my homemade classic hummus, and it was fantastic! My boyfriend and mom also had some, and it got great feedback.
