How to Make Potato Zucchini?

This potato soup recipe is quite simple and easy to prepare. It will come in less than half an hour in your bowl. You’ll just require the following ingredients and steps to follow:

Ingredients

• Potatoes – for the potatoes I prefer to use Yukon Gold for its creamy and butter flavor, it also holds up well when cooked for long. Also, red-skinned potatoes are my next best bet for a hearty and flavorful potato. Avoid Russet potatoes which tend to dissipate when boiled for long, they are best baked., peeled, and cut into cubes
• Avocado or olive oil – these are my favorite oils, coconut oil and grapeseed oils are also great natural oils to use in cooking this soup. For oil-free soup, just saute your vegetables in about 1/2 cup of water. Then proceed. 
• Onion – you can use white or yellow onions for this recipe.
• Garlic – 3 cloves of garlic are great, 5 cloves for garlic lovers.
• Green onions – adds an extra boost of flavor, you can also add extra for garnish.
• Celery – always tastes great in soups, has a lovely savory flavor.
• Red bell pepper – gives a lovely sweet flavor that balances the savory flavors of the soup.
• Zucchini – neutral flavor of the zucchini is great to soak up all the flavors of the soup and add extra healthy low-carbohydrate, low-calorie nutrients.
• Carrots – adds lovely sweet flavor plus extra betacarotene along with the red bell pepper, betacarotene is great for skin, hair, nails, and boosting the immune system.
• Fresh herbs – I used thyme but you can use basil, oregano, parsley, rosemary.
• Vegan bouillon cubes – or 4 cups vegetable broth plus salt to taste. sold at health food stores or online.
• Italian seasoning, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Cayenne Pepper – Add these seasonings to your soup and you will be amazed at how the flavor pops.
• Salt – I used Himalayan pink salt

Directions 

1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Add onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
2. Stir in garlic, green onion, bell pepper, celery, carrot, potato, zucchini, and fresh herbs; cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
3. Add vegan bouillon, water,  Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and bring to a boil.

5. Add cayenne pepper and salt to taste.
6. To thicken, mash some of the potato cubes.
