yesterday, i ran three miles for the first time in four months. it felt great to run and be outside in the beautiful spring weather, today, i am feeling every step of that run. my entire body is sore, but the pain is worth the gain. so tonight, i am sharing with y'all a quick, easy, healthy and delicious soup recipe. it takes less than 30 minutes and only takes a few ingredients, most of which you probably already have! i used my spirooli sprializer to make the zoodles, but if you don't have one, you can simply grate the zucchini or use a potato peeler. i highly recommend buying a spiralizer though, its one of my favorite cooking tools! i paired my soup with a couple club soda bread muffins (recipe below) and it was the perfect, easy meal for this sore body!
white bean, tomato and zucchini noodle soup
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
1 can petite diced tomatoes
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp italian seasonings
1 tsp basil
pepper, to taste
1 medium zucchini
shaved parmesan cheese, for serving
- add all ingredients except zucchini and parmesan to medium pot, stir together and bring to a boil.
- reduce heat and allow to simmer for 10-minutes.
- while soup is cooking, spiralize zucchini and cut into smaller pieces (this will make it easier to eat).
- to serve, add handful of zucchini to bowl, pour soup over and sprinkle with parmesan. (the hot soup will slightly soften the zucchini)
