45 Cal Creamy HEALTHY Soup!
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!
