Zucchini Potato Soup That’ll Make You Feel All Warm & Fuzzy

The finished dish — looks amazing, right?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, imagine we’re at the grocery store. First up, you need some ghee (or whatever oil tickles your fancy) because we’re starting with that buttery goodness! Then garlic—like, two cloves of it—minced to perfection. Grab a big ol’ yellow onion. And don’t forget the celery—3 stalks, please!

Oh, and we can’t have a zucchini potato soup without, you guessed it, zucchini! Two medium ones. Then, the star of the show—2 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced like they’re going to a spa. And broth, 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth (or veggie, if that’s more your jam).

For a fun kick, you can add turkey bacon (totally optional, but… bacon), plain Greek yogurt (or coconut milk if you wanna keep it dairy-free), and a sprinkle of parmesan to make it sing. Oh, and don’t skip the sea salt and fresh black pepper—adds that magic!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so here’s the deal—this soup has been my go-to for ages! It’s like a life raft when the weather gets gloomy and the world feels a bit too much. One rainy day, I was all mopey and just wanted something comforting. I threw this together after rummaging through my fridge (can you say “kitchen sink soup”?).

I remember the first time I made it… The kitchen smelled like heaven. My roommate walked in and was like, “What’s cooking?!” and then I had to share! Spoiler alert: it disappeared faster than I could blink.

Just as gorgeous from this angle too!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, here’s the kicker: the immersion blender! Seriously, if you don’t have one, get on that train. It makes this soup so creamy and dreamy without the hassle of transferring it to a blender. Like, who has time for that? Just blend it right in the pot and voilà!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

Don’t skip the sautéing! It’s where all the flavor magic happens. Seriously, let those onions and garlic get all translucent and aromatic. You’ll thank me later.

Keep an eye on the veggies! I’m talking about that fork test. They should be tender but not mushy. No one wants a sludge soup (ugh).

Taste as you go! Seriously, season as you blend. Maybe you’re feeling spicy today? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (which… you might not, let’s be real), just pop ’em in an airtight container. They’ll be chillin’ in the fridge for up to 4 days! Just reheat on the stove or in the microwave. Easy-peasy!

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

Oh! If you’re into cozy vibes, you’ve gotta try my creamy tomato basil soup or the loaded baked potato soup! Seriously, they’re like hugs in a bowl too.

So, what’s your go-to cozy meal? I need some ideas for those rainy days! 🌧️🥣
