ZUCCHINI TOMATO SOUP

I can’t even describe how excited I’ve been lately. My super-picky-eater son has been TASTING NEW FOODS!

That’s right, he’s been eating new food and a lot of it. He’s been eating eggs in an egg salad and fried egg sandwiches. He’s been eating avocados and all kinds of different toppings for his hot dogs. There has been bell peppers, lettuce and tomato, chili, honey mustard, and a few other ideas he’s come up with.

Last week, he tried a cheeseburger for the first time and sliced turkey and chicken. When it came to sliced deli meats, he actually did not like it and decided to stick to his favorite grilled cheese. But of course, nothing goes better with a grilled cheese than a bowl of tomato soup.

Grilled cheese dipping sticks actually make a perfect pairing for this soup. Everyone from children to adults will enjoy this Tomato Zucchini Soup with some grilled cheese sticks.

    I used stevia instead of sugar. I’m guessing that would decrease the carb level significantly? I’m on the keto diet so everything else looked good. It was yummy

      Hi Kelly,
      I would be careful substituting stevia amount exactly because it has a very sweet flavor. Start with half the amount of stevia and taste to see if you have enough to cut the acidity of tomatoes. Carb amount will go down but there is only 1 tbsp of sugar in the pot of soup, so it won’t go down an extreme amount. The whole pot will go down by about 8g.
      I hope this helps!

    I also used a small amount of stevia which worked well. Because I have problems with dairy, I omitted sour cream and instead added some ghee, a very small amount of low lactose cheese, and a bit more salt.

      Hi Holly,

      You can freeze this soup but it does have cream in it so if freezing I would wait to add the cream until you heat the soup up. I would thaw it then heat it in a pot over medium heat then add cream.

    Could you use frozen shredded zucchini? Maybe thawed and drained?

      Yes, I think that would work just fine. Just make sure to thaw and drain all the liquid.
