Directions for Zucchini Soup

In this zucchini soup recipe dicing five different vegetables is a labor of love. Is it worth it? Yes! But I would invest in a chopper. If you’re still short on time, you can also dice all the vegetables beforehand. After dicing, this is a quick and easy soup recipe. Perfect for any weeknight dinner!

A pile of diced zucchini, carrots, celery, onions and peppers. Perfect bite size pieces for any soup.

First, in a large stock pot, brown the Italian sausage with the diced onions and celery until no longer pink, and drain off excess grease. *Add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to the pan that is not non-stick to prevent sticking and burning.
