You want to prepare a zucchini soup low carb and do without unnecessary carbohydrates? Then you've come to the right place! Try this delicious soup with green zucchini and parmesan crackers.
Every year in July and August the same phenomenon: the garden is overflowing with zucchini. Not mine, but my neighbor's. Every second or third day, a small bag of fresh zucchini hangs over the garden fence.
The fastest way to process them is to make soup from them.
And that's a good thing. Because delicious soups are very much in vogue again right now. They provide liquid, of which we all take far too little anyway - right? And they also provide important fiber for digestion.
Vegetable soups help us finally get to the right amount of vegetables per day. This way you can slip greens even to a vegetable muffin. :)
I tell you today how your zucchini soup low carb and mega delicious!
Mega delicious: creamy zucchini spread with cream cheese!
What ingredients make your zucchini soup low carb
If you want your zucchini soup to be low carb, potatoes and the like have no place in the pot. Instead, cream is used. It ensures a creamy consistency and provides the necessary fat that a low carb dish needs.
If you don't have cream on hand, you can also use cream cheese or crème fraîche.
The zucchini itself consists mostly of water. Thus, it provides hardly any calories and is still very healthy.
In the green vegetable is a lot of calcium, magnesium, iron, B vitamins, vitamins A and C. With only 19 calories per 100 grams, they are very popular in the lean vegetable cuisine.
Onion, garlic and spices complete the recipe.
But I love this recipe not only because the zucchini soup is low carb, but especially because of the quick and easy preparation. In short, cut everything up, boil in vegetable broth and puree.
If you chop the zucchini, the soup will be ready in just 10 minutes.
And you can do absolutely nothing wrong.
This zucchini soup is
- Low carb and keto suitable
- vegetarian
- for cooking beginners absolutely sure to succeed
- a great way to cook up excess zucchini
To make the soup nice and creamy, you need a powerful Blender* or a powerful food processor*. The one-off purchase is really worth it. I have been using my appliances for many years and very often.
But enough of that. Let's get to the recipe now!
Low Carb Zucchini Soup *vegetarian*
Ingredients
- 1 Onion
- 1 Garlic clove
- 1 EL Olive oil
- 300 g Zucchini
- 100 ml Vegetable broth
- 2-3 Stem Parsley
- Nutmeg, salt and pepper
- 50 ml Sour cream
- 50 ml Cream
Anleitung
- Chop the onion and garlic. Fry them with olive oil in a pot until translucent.
- Meanwhile, cut the zucchini into cubes and add them to the pot. Pour in vegetable broth.
- Add the parsley coarsely chopped. Let the soup simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Puree the soup. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add the sour cream and the cream. Stir well and ready.
- If you like, you can serve Parmesan crackers with the soup. To do this, put 4 tablespoons of Parmesan on a baking sheet with baking paper. Put it in the oven. After about 10 minutes the cheese should be melted and crispy.
Nährwerte
You have prepared way too much? You should estimate that before finishing the soup. Once you have added dairy products, you can no longer freeze the low carb soup.
Cream, cream cheese and other dairy products flocculate during freezing. After thawing, they no longer combine well with the soup. If you prepare your zucchini soup low carb with cream and sour cream, then you need to roughly assess in advance whether it is too much or not.
But do not worry. The soup will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. If you are not completely low carb, you can also use the zucchini soup as a sauce for pasta. You just need to season it a little more.
How you can refine the soup
There are still many ways to season the soup differently. You can find a few tasty ingredients and inspiration here. Try this:
- Add spring onion or very thinly sliced leeks to soup before serving.
- If you like, you can replace the cream with cream cheese or crème fraîche.
- Chili oil or chili flakes provide more spice.
- Fresh dill or chives.
- Replace a little zucchini with fennel.
- Sprouts and sprouting seeds also do well and keep zucchini soup low carb.
- For the non-vegetarians: fry Serrano ham.
- Spices like ginger.
Our conclusion
If you want your zucchini soup to be low carb, you should swap potatoes for cream. It makes the soup wonderfully creamy. The fat content ensures that the flavors come out nicely. This soup is a recipe that absolutely anyone can make and is on the table in just 15 minutes.
Good luck and enjoy it!
