Healthy Creamy Zucchini Soup


 

You don’t need loads of cream to make a Creamy Zucchini Soup because the natural texture of cooked zucchini blends into a thick, silky soup. This is a bowl of goodness to warm your soul, it’s ultra tasty and yet only 220 calories for a big bowl, or 98 calories if you skip the cream!

Specifically, Creamy Zucchini Soup. A HEALTHY one. I haven’t deliberately made this healthy, this is simply the way I make Cream of Zucchini Soup. And in fact, there’s a good glug of cream stirred into the soup at the end. Which you can afford to do because even with the cream, it’s only got 220 calories per serving – for a big generous bowl.
And without the cream, it’s only got 98 calories a serving. Crazy, huh? And you know, yes I’m an advocate for adding a splash of cream into the soup (or butter!), but even without, this is a really ultra tasty soup.
Let’s take a good look at the star of this recipe. Zucchini. LOTS of it. 1 kg / 2 lb to be exact.





Once cooked until soft, zucchinis whizz up into a silky, smooth, thick soup. No roux, no potato, no cornflour, no thickeners required. The cream stirred in at the end isn’t for thickening, it’s for flavour.



ENJOY IT 😋😋😋

Cellulite-Busting Body Scrub + Seaweed Wrap Cellulite can affect women of all shapes and sizes. Thanks to genetics, poor diet, dehydration, lack of exercise, hormones, reduced circulation and thickness of skin and body fat, we often can end up with the unattractive dimpling and bulges of cellulite. There are expensive spa treatments now that target cellulite through massage technology, but sessions are expensive and results can vary. This cellulite-busting body scrub and seaweed body wrap are the perfect combination for battling cellulite just like the spas do, but in the privacy and comfort of home, without the hefty price tag. Cellulite Coffee Scrub : While drinking coffee can deplete our tissues of fluid, applying coffee topically  can actually help fight cellulite. The caffeine in coffee can temporarily tighten and tone tissue, and also help eliminate toxin build up, one of the causes of cellulite .   Cellulite Seaweed Body Wrap Body wraps ar

easy superfood bars These easy superfood bars are jam-packed with lots of wholesome ingredients and simple to make. They’re no-bake and free of grains, gluten, and dairy too! It was hard coming up with the first recipe of the new year. Most people seem to be on some sort of strict diet this month, but how do you go from posting cookies, cakes, and cinnamon rolls, to salad? Yeah, we might be eating them these days, but who really eats it because they  like  it? I mean, if salad was pizza—super fattening with zero nutrients, who would “indulge” in a big bowl of lettuce?  I’m only half kidding!   I do enjoy a good salad every now and then, especially when it has loads of yummy toppings and a great dressing! But still, the first recipe needed to bridge the gap between sweet treats and something healthy, so a healthy treat it was!

Additional tamanu oil and hazelnut oil are added because of their amazing skin benefits. In particular, they are great for oily skin types. If you prefer different oil for your skin, feel free to swap them out. Just keep in mind it may change the consistency a bit! The Natural Castile Liquid Soap Base is made exclusively from olive oil, resulting in a very mild soap. It has a light lather and gentle cleansing properties so it’s suitable for delicate facial skin.
