Zucchini and Yellow Squash Soup
Description
The Zucchini and Yellow Squash Soup begins by sautéing diced yellow onion and chopped red bell pepper in avocado oil, adding minced garlic until fragrant and the vegetables soften and start to brown. Chopped zucchini and yellow squash are then added along with dried rosemary, parsley, and paprika, cooking briefly to build flavor. Cannellini beans, canned diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth are incorporated next, bringing the soup to a boil before simmering until the vegetables are tender but intact. This results in a thick, textured soup rich in vegetables and mild spices. Seasoning with sea salt and black pepper at the end allows for balanced taste.
This soup offers a satisfying combination of tender squash pieces and creamy beans, suitable for a light lunch or starter. It's practical served alongside rustic bread to soak up the broth and add heartiness to the meal.
