Spelt and zucchini soup.
This delicious dish can be enjoyed both hot and cold. We all know the nutritional properties of spelt: it is a good source of vitamins and minerals.
It contains vitamins A, B, C, E, as well as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, and potassium.
It is a good source of protein and iron and contains a lot of fiber.
Zucchini, on the other hand, combats water retention and supports urinary and intestinal health, as it also fights constipation.
They are recommended for weaning babies. Just two thin slices of green zucchini placed on the eyes can reduce dark circles and relieve the eyes.

When the garlic and onion are golden, add the zucchini cubes,
Add the broth cube, and…
also the water. Bring back to a boil.
Choose high-quality spelt, it can be either whole or pearled, as you like.
When the zucchini is boiling again, pour in the spelt, stir and let it cook for about 15 minutes.
Cooking time depends on your taste.
If you like it quite al dente, 15 minutes is enough. Otherwise, extend the time, checking if the cooking liquid is sufficient; if not, add more water.
When cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes in the pot, and if you like, you can add parmesan and a little black pepper.
