This is the kinda soup that you can eat all year round.
With its light and zesty flavors, this healthy Cauliflower and Zucchini Soup will definitely satisfy anyone's taste buds.
I feel a bit weird about sharing a soup when we are in the middle of our summer down here in NZ, but to be quite honest this soup is seriously too good, I couldn't possibly hang on to it till next winter before I shared it.
Plus I think it's the kinda soup that can be eaten any time of the year due to its light, fresh and zesty flavors.
And we are smack bam in the middle of zucchini season so I think I can get away with posting it, being seasonally and all that.
I think you guys are going to love this soup because:
- It's so simple and easy to make.
- It only requires 7 ingredients + seasoning.
- It's incredibly healthy and nourishing, filled with lots of outstanding ingredients.
- It's dairy-free, gluten-free and nut-free.
- It's suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
- And it is exploding with fantastic flavors.
You guys are going to love the amazing flavors that this Cauliflower and Zucchini Soup has to offer.
The addition of fresh lemon juice gives a lovely fresh and zesty flavor to the soup.
And the ground turmeric gives it a stunning yellow flavor that is incredibly eye-catching.
Then the stars of the show the cauliflower and zucchini, well the just treat each other so well.
Combining together to create a magical soup base that works perfectly with its additions.
Don’t let the lightness of this dish fool you into thinking that it will not be satisfying enough on its own.
Cause it sure is!!!
But like most soups a couple of slices of toasted bread served on the side would not go astray.
I hope you guys love this soup as much as I do.
And don't forget to let me know how you go with it by leaving a comment below.
I love it when we share our cooking adventures together.
Enjoy.

HI! I just discovered your blog while looking for an easy roasted chicken breast recipe. I found this Cauliflower and Zucchini Soup which sounds just right for the middle of our New Jersey winter. However, I have a question - what is numeric powder? I have never heard of that spice. Thanks! And I am looking forward to following your blog!

Hi Vicky, thanks so much for spotting my typo. It is meant to be turmeric powder not numeric powder. I hope you enjoy the soup and I would love to hear how you go with it.

Typos happen! I will let you know when I make the soup - which will be soon! 🙂

Apart from not adding the lemon juice & the salt & pepper,I followed this recipe exactly.
I air fried my zucchini though so my version of the soup came out significantly darker.Delicious though.I'm going to make this soup again next week & add the lemon & salt/pepper next time.

I have been making this soup with my allotment grown courgettes (zucchini) and cauliflower. It's the best zucchini soup I've ever tasted and everyone absolutely loves it.
