Equipment

  • High Speed Blender
  • Spiralizer Optional

Ingredients

  • 1 TBS Olive Oil
  • 1 Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, peeled
  • 2 tsp Dried Basil
  • 2 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
  • 2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 3 Medium Zucchini, quartered horizontally and chopped
  • 3-4 Cups Vegetable Stock or Water start with 3 cups, add as desired to thin
  • 12 oz Silken Firm Mori Nu Tofu Pour Excess Water off
  • 1 Zucchini, spiralized

Optional Add In's/Toppers

  • Sunflower seeds
  • Fresh Crushed Pepper
  • Croutons

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
    Place prepared onion and chopped zucchini in a large bowl. Add spices, as well as salt and pepper. Turn the vegetables over themselves for a couple minutes, ensuring even distribution of the seasoning. Pour contents of bowl onto a parchment lined baking sheet, top with garlic, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until zucchini is softened.
  • Once baked and slightly cooled, add the roasted vegetables, 3 cups water and the tofu. Blend in a high speed blender until completely smooth.
  • Pour the blended soup into a medium pot and warm on low. Continue to heat and stir; taste the soup and add more salt or pepper if desired.

Spiralized Zucchini

  • Once you have spiralized the zucchini, add the 1 TBS olive oil to a pan. Add up to half the spiralized zucchini at a time, being sure not to over crowd the pan.
  • Turn the flame on medium and sear the zucchini until nicely browned, flipping once to sear both sides; season with sea salt if desired and place on top of portioned bowls of soup.

Notes

  • You may choose to use yellow zucchini for spiralizing to create variety and enhance presentation.
  • This soup is gluten free and nut free as is.
  • To make this soup soy free, you could use canned coconut cream in place of tofu. Note that the taste will be different and consistency not as thick, though still delicious.
  • Need a game changing high speed blender that creates perfectly smooth soups, sauces, smoothies, and more? Here it is!
  • Spiralizing zucchini to top the dish is a nice option and you can get a really great spiralizer right here! You can also try using a vegetable peeler in place of a spiralizer if you'd like.
