  • Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 25 mins

  • Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Zucchini (or Mexican grey squash), diced

  • 1 large Carrot, diced

  • 1 cup Potatoes, cubed small

  • 1/2 cup Celery, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cup Leeks, sliced

  • 1 small White onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

  • 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth (or water)

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

  • Salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and sliced leeks. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced carrots, celery, potatoes, and zucchini. Toss well to combine with the aromatics and cook for another 2 minutes.

  3. Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth or water. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 20 minutes until all the vegetables are fork-tender.

  4. Finish: Stir in freshly chopped parsley right before turning off the heat. Serve hot.

Notes & Tips

  • Potato Sub: If you are practicing a strict low-carb or keto protocol, you can easily swap the russet potatoes for turnips, radishes, or extra cauliflower florets.

  • Texture Control: If you prefer a thicker, creamier texture without adding dairy, take 1 cup of the cooked soup, blend it until smooth, and stir it back into the pot.

Benefits & Nutrition

  • Benefit: This soup is high in dietary fiber and volume but very low in caloric density. It promotes satiety, aids digestion, and keeps you hydrated, making it an excellent addition to a fat-loss regimen.
