Christina This insanely delicious Creamy Vegan Zucchini Cheese Soup is going to become your new obsession. You won’t believe how flavourful and cheesy it is! Full of flavour, so creamy and smooth, and soooo cheesy, yet super nutritious and low in calories. This soup is filling and immensely satisfying!
So quick and easy to make, ready in less than an hour, and it only requires 8 ingredients (not counting the salt and the pepper)!
You can enjoy this soup both served hot or cold. It’s delicious either way! This means that this soup is just as perfect to enjoy on cold days as on hot summer days. That’s what we call PERFECTION!
Crazy delicious, gluten-free, and can be made WFPB by simply skipping the extra virgin olive oil (although we recommend adding it for the best flavour experience).
At first, I thought the idea of a zucchini soup sounded meh but oh boy was I wrong! This soup is entirely my mum’s creation which she made for us these days, as she has been staying with us for a few weeks this summer. When we tried it and saw how incredibly yummy it is, we knew we had to share the recipe with all of you! You can thank us later!
Get ready for your new healthy addiction! This super simple recipe requires minimal preparation and will impress vegans and non-vegans alike. No one will believe this soup doesn’t contain any dairy at all! It tastes like liquid cheese, so good!
This soup only requires 1 pot and an immersion blender!
