Zucchini Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The calendar says end of September, so fall is officially here. That means it’s soup time!

Living in Los Angeles, we can’t really tell that fall has arrived since we wear shorts and go to the beach all year round, but we don’t care. Fall is fall, even if the weather won’t cooperate. We just have to imagine that we are back in cold and windy Denmark enjoying our hot soup.

Smooth & silky zucchini soup with eggs, turkey bacon and parsley. Easy and healthy fall and winter food.

What I particularly like about this zucchini soup is the texture. It’ smooth and silky. I garnish it with chopped eggs, turkey bacon, and parsley to add a salty, crunchy texture. Yummy! If you want to add even more protein, you can also add small pieces of cooked chicken breast.

The only real issue with this dish is that you can really burn your tongue if you don’t let it cool down a little before eating. It’s hard to wait sometimes because it’s so good I just want to gulp it all down right away 😀

I actually can’t take all the credit for this recipe since it was introduced to me by my younger brother Michael. When we were kids in Denmark, you still got taught basic cooking in school. It was only an hour or two per week for a single year, but it meant that most kids in Denmark learned how to do basic cooking. Michael learned this recipe in cooking class, brought the recipe home, and cooked it for my mother and me. And now I bring you my slightly altered version.

I hope you will enjoy it. Tobias and I had this soup for dinner yesterday on our balcony and it worked great in the Santa Monica sunshine 😀

    I couldn’t wait. It had 5 more minutes to go. I had one teaspoonful right out of the pot. Delightful! Wouldn’t change a thing. (well, maybe the time) Very simple recipe, yet so Good.
