Vegetable Zucchini Noodle Soup
Vegetable Zucchini Noodle Soup features sautéed onion, carrot, celery, and garlic simmered in vegetable broth with fresh herbs. Canned tomatoes and chickpeas add body and flavor, while spiralized zucchini noodles are added near the end for a tender yet slightly firm texture. This broth-based soup is hearty yet light and served hot.
