    Zucchini Leek Soup with walnut garnish

    One of my favourite veggies to use when in season is zucchini! They are so versatile to cook with! For the cooler months, I’ve created a warm creamy soup which is so tasty and doesn't require any cream!

    This recipe only uses 5 ingredients to create a creamy and delicious green soup.

    Ingredients to Make Zucchini Leek Soup

    • Zucchini, the main ingredient for this soup, so you want to make sure they are fresh and feel firm
    • Leeks, provide a nice mild sweetness but onion will also provide a similar result
    • Garlic cloves adds to the overall flavour
    • Vegetable stock is used as the liquid base of the soup. I like organic stock, without any added sugars
    • Cannellini beans are used to bring a beautiful creamy texture along with the added protein and nutrients.

    How to Make Zucchini Leek Soup

    • Sauté leeks on medium heat and add garlic cloves
    • Add the zucchini, season and sauté for 5 minutes
    • Add cannellini beans and vegetable stock
    • Simmer for 30 minutes
    • Blend until smooth with a stick or stand blender

    Important Tips

    • Always sauté the leek for at least 5 minutes so they are nicely caramelised before adding the zucchini. Once the zucchini is added, once again sauté for a few mins and then add the remaining ingredients to simmer.
    • If you are using a blender, make sure that your blender can take hot liquids, otherwise let the soup cool down before blending

    I love serving this soup with toasted walnuts on top. They bring a beautiful nuttiness and contrast in texture which works so well. Enjoy!
