Light Cream of Zucchini and Onions
A light and creamy soup, despite the absence of potatoes, is not easy to find. It warms you up in winter, but it’s also good cold in summer. Only 2 ingredients.
This easy and quick, gluten-free soup, light and belly-reducing, a true boon for our bodies: zucchinis and onions have a very low-calorie content, making them particularly suitable for low-calorie diets: they are low in salt, diuretic and help to fight urinary tract issues, with the onion known for its strong antibacterial, antibiotic, and disinfectant action.
Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free recipe.

Shopping Tips!!!
To cut the vegetables, I used this very convenient cutting board with two side trays: one to gather the cut food and the other to gather the scraps.
To blend the zucchini and onions and obtain a smooth cream, I used my very convenient Braun MultiQuick 7 Hand Blender.
Read my review for GialloZafferano on the Hand Blender “Braun MQ9045 MultiQuick 9“.
