Zucchini Garlic Soup – Simply Vegan and Healthy!

Zucchini Garlic Soup – Simply Vegan and Healthy!

This is so simple and delicious! As the summer is winding down, there is still an abundance of zucchini available. Now that the weather is starting to cool down, I could really go for some zucchini soup. I have been making this for a long time, and sauteed zucchini always remind me of my famous (at least among my family) zucchini quiche. But, since I’m not eating eggs or dairy right now, here’s a super delicious and simple recipe that you can make any time of the year, as long as you can find zucchini in your grocery store.

Since zucchini has such a delicate flavor, it's fun to heat it up by adding chili flakes. It's optional if you don't like the heat.
