Number of Servings: 9

Ingredients

    Small Zuchhini - 2
    Potato - 1
    Frozen Spinach - 5 oz
    Onion - 1 large
    Garlic - 2 cloves crushed then finely chopped
    Salt and Pepper to taste
    Chicken Stock (or broth) - 32 oz
    Optional: red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce 1 tsp
    Optional: 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for a nice summer-outdoor-picnic flavor)

Directions

Peel the zucchini and potato. Chop thin slices. Sautee the onions in a large pot with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add the garlic and sautee over medium until onions are translucent. Add the stock, sliced veggies, seasonings, but not the spinach. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low or medium. Let simmer for at least 30 min and up to an hour, or until the potato and zucchini are so soft they fall apart when touched. Add frozen spinach. Put in the blender to chop up the spinach and veggies to make it creamy, or serve it chunky. Makes eight to ten 1cup servings.

    If you're going to blend it anyway, you can always leave the skin on the zucchini and potato for added vitamins & minerals. Just be sure to wash them well.

    It is delicious even without the hot stuff :)     - 8/9/08

    MAde as directed but added dried chipotle chile powder instead of the red pepper. The smokiness of the chipotle was awesome, especially the next day. Will make again~ - 2/12/10

    I pureed the broth, including onions, garlic, and potatoes and left the zucchini and spinach in "chunks". Served this with lunch, along with a chicken lettuce salad, so I got my greens in for the day! I love adding very low calorie soups to my meals, and this one was a great addition! - 3/20/09

    Tried this not knowing if I would like it. Not only did I like it, but my 4 and 2 year old ate a bowl too! Very good with the crushed red pepper in it. - 7/26/08

    Really, really good! I put a little Sriracha sauce in it too, for extra spice.
    Made creamy in the blender, but added spinach after.
    Careful putting hot soup in your blender. Mine cracked. Any tips to avoid that?     - 1/14/14

    This was absolutely delicious. I changed it slightly. I used only one zucchini and added thinly sliced carrots and chicken. I also didnt blend it at all. This cayenne pepper and red pepper really made me enjoy this soup. SO easy too. Yummy! - 3/10/11

    Added carrots instead of potato since I was out of them and used homemade turkey broth! Delicious! Thanks for sharing. - 11/27/10

    Definitely recommend red pepper flakes and subbed cauliflower for potato. Just had the leftovers from this recipe that I froze more than a month ago. Still so good. I actually had forgotten how good it is. I'm going to hurry and freeze more batches with the last of this season's zucchini. - 10/6/10

    So yummy! Definitely serve it blended, the texture makes it seem rich with out the calories of a very rich soup. I will certainly be making it again because our garden over flowed with zucchini this year! - 8/18/08

    Soup was good! Very light and tasty....I think I added just a little too much cayenne but it gave it quite the kick! Next time may add a second potato - 8/9/14

    I used vegetable broth instead of chicken stock. The soup was surprisingly really good! Similar to a broccoli soup. I was worried because I don't usually like zucchini cooked. My whole family liked it (husband and 3 kids)! - 8/1/11

    Made this for dinner last night. It was a hit with all four in our family. We were each able to "dress it up" the way we liked. My 19 year old said to make sure to make it again soon! - 7/20/11

    I made this recipe using fresh spinach and chard from my garden. Added parsley as I had no cilantro...very good and stores well. - 7/9/11

    Tasty! For me it needed salt and pepper and yep, more spices. It actually worked very well in lieu of broth when I was making a sauce for a pasta dish :) oh, I left the skin on the veggies too :) - 6/16/11

    I made this for lunch this week. I didn't have cilantro so I used dill and a little cayenne pepper. It is delicious. I know that I will make this one again. - 9/13/10

    Made this last night and OMG it was great. I am doing Phase 1 South Beach so Ileft out potato and added cauliflower. Also used half a bag of fresh baby spinach. Maybe a little too much cayenne but it gave it a kick and I sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top. - 7/16/10

    This was AMAZING. The only thing I did differently was I added half of a lemon's juice and a tsp of chili powder to boost the flavor. It was so good and comforting and filling! - 6/17/09
