With the days getting cold, I can’t wait to make my first soup. In the fall, of course, the squash has the edge and is processed into all kinds of liquid forms. But I’m for variety and like to throw other vegetables in the bowl. I currently love this grilled zucchini soup. The soup itself isn’t roasted, of course, but the zucchini that ends up being so is. Don’t worry, you don’t have to extract the grill again, which has already been sent to hibernation. A roasting pan will do the trick, too. Isn’t that part of your kitchen equipment? It doesn’t matter, just use a traditional frying pan.
I always find it especially delicious when the soup has a little texture. You can either achieve this by not mashing it completely, but by leaving a few pieces. Or you can decorate it with some crunchy toppings before serving. It can be coconut flakes, chopped nuts, toasted pine nuts, toasted bread, … the possibilities are enormous. Take a look at the Toppings cookbook if you need more inspiration when it comes to culinary crowns.
But now back to the roasted zucchini soup. Or soup in general, because here at EAT CLUB there are plenty of others waiting to spoil your taste buds. For example, Swedish mushroom soup or coconut and pumpkin soup. Or what about these two lovers?
It is useful to know: can zucchini be eaten raw? EAT CLUBBERIN Olivia will give you the answer to that question in our cooking school.
