Zucchini, Mint and Feta Soup
This soup, shared with us by Georgia Harding from Well Nourished, is a great way to make zucchini more delicious. The best part about this soup is that it is incredibly quick and easy to make and the result is surprisingly very tasty (because lets face it, zucchini is not the most flavoursome veggie!) Zucchini is extremely low in calories and loaded with fibre. It is also a great source of potassium. When combined with mint and home-brewed bone broth, it is a fabulous digestive tonic, perfect for keeping those important good bugs happy.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "When zucchinis are in abundance, this is a quickand healthy soup to make. You could also add some peas to this for another twist. You can easily double the recipe and freeze it for later or to feed more people." - Gail
