How to Make Zucchini Vegetable Soup:

Start by dicing a large onion and green bell pepper. Place in a large pot with one pound of bulk Italian sausage. Heat over medium heat until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender, then stir in four cups of gluten-free chicken broth, basil, parsley, and salt. Bring to a boil.

While the soup is coming to a boil, chop up 2 small zucchinis by quartering lengthwise and then cutting them into 1/4-1/2 inch slices. Add the sliced zucchini, diced tomatoes, and frozen cauliflower to the soup.

Cover the pot and let cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until the zucchini is tender. Then, it’s ready to serve.
Can I Freeze Zucchini Vegetable Soup?
Yes, let the soup cool completely, then put it in freezer zip-lock bags and lay it flat to freeze. To thaw, place it on a plate or pasta bowl, thaw in the refrigerator, and then reheat.
