Recipe video above. {Low Cal, GF, low carb} My secret method to make a really low calorie creamy soup that is seriously delicious! Using boiled PEELED zucchini, simmer until soft then blitz into what looks like everybody's favourite calorie-laden creamy broths.....but it's guilt free. Zucchini is ideal - purees smooth, neutral flavour that's easily disguisable. It doesn't taste like zucchini - just a savoury creamy soup. I've used it to make a healthy version of homemade Cream of Chicken Soup. But imagine the possibilies - use it in place of any soup that has a creamy white broth!
View original recipe on recipetineats.comPlace all Broth ingredients EXCEPT milk into a pot, cover with lid and bring to energetic simmer over medium high heat.
Lower to medium and simmer for 15 minutes until zucchinis is very soft.
Remove from heat, add milk. Use a handheld blender to blitz until smooth. Add salt to taste. Marvel at creamy broth with so few calories!
Melt butter in a pot or large saucepan over medium heat.
Add garlic, onion, carrot and celery. Cook for 3 minutes, then add capsicum. Cook for another 2 minutes until onion is translucent and sweet.
Add Broth, chicken and peas. Bring to gentle simmer for just 2 to 3 minutes or until peas are cooked.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with a pinch of fresh thyme leaves. Devour, and marvel at how such a creamy, totally delicious bowl of soup has so few calories!!
