Zucchini and Tomato soup. Very low Calorie.

[achookwoman]

From my calculations, this makes 3 generous serves at 43 calories a serve.  The bonus is that it is extremely tasty and filling. Carbs 7 per serve.
Ingredients.
200g peeled and chopped Zucchini
1 440 g tin of chopped tomatoes with Basil and Oragano.
( OR fresh Basil and Oregano added at end before blitzing. )
3 Massel stock cubes or 3 teaspoons of stock powder.
Method
Add chopped and peeled Zucchini to TMX bowl and cover with water.
Cook 10 minute/ 100/ speed 1
Mix , 1 minute/ speed 9
Add stock cubes, tomatoes and 1/2 can of cold water.
Cook 10 minutes, speed 1
Add fresh herbs if using
Mix 30 seconds/ speed 8.

Notes
Can add 1/4 cup of milk after last mix,  stir in at low speed.
Some canned tomatoes has no sugar or salt.  Taste and adjust.
Mix,
I used leftover soup as a base for pasta.
This recipe was inspired by RTE.  I usually use Cauliflower  as a base for my cream soups.  This is lighter and better for Summer

That soup looks and sounds tasty, Chookie.  How do you think vege stock concentrate would work in it?

[achookwoman]

Marina, I think veggie stock would be good.

Sounds nice Chookie, will try for sure.

Julie, yes, please do try.   It is a pretty powerful drop.  I’m thinking of trying the same recipe but doubling the Zucchini.  Can’t help myself.  Must fiddle even when good.  Thought it might be nice served cold on a hot day.

I wondered about serving it cold as well, Chookie, it looks like that kind of soup.  I am desperate to try it, but probably won't get a chance for a week or two.

I love the sound of serving it cold. I love cold Pumpkin soup.

It sounds like a nice, simple to make soup Chookie.  I’m not a cold soup person at all, it must be hot for me.

The soup looks delicious Chookie.😋

Chookie I was looking for a lentil soup to make tonight but came across this tomato/zucchini soup of yours before I got too far.  I decided to use this as a base for my lentil soup.  I sautéed onion and unpeeled zucchini to start with then added the other ingredients as well as 1/2 cup of red lentils and a can of water to accommodate that.  A nice, thick soup or, as you mentioned, a pasta sauce.

Judy, love it when people fiddle with a recipe to get a good result.  Go girl.

It was very nice Chookie and I’ve frozen one pack for DD1 who I am hoping to see once our border is open to Victorians. I have a whole list of vegetarian soup from the forum to work my way through for her eventually.
