When it comes to combining flavor, nutrition, and lightness in one dish, few recipes can compete with creamy zucchini and garlic soup. This delicious, velvety preparation is not only comforting but also a great ally for anyone looking to lose weight without sacrificing taste.
🌱 Why Zucchini and Garlic?
- Zucchini (Courgette):
Zucchini is naturally low in calories yet rich in fiber, vitamins A, C, and B, as well as minerals like potassium and magnesium. Its high water content (over 90%) makes it filling while helping to flush out toxins and support digestion. - Garlic:
Garlic is renowned for its powerful health benefits. It supports metabolism, promotes fat burning, improves blood circulation, and has antibacterial properties. It also adds a distinctive depth of flavor to the soup.
Together, these two ingredients make a perfect match for a light but nutrient-packed meal.
🥣 Ingredients (for 4 servings)
- 4 medium zucchinis (washed and cut into cubes)
