Potato&zucchini soup

Today is the first day of this semester of school and “everydays”.

So, after a wonderful weekend with vintage Volkswagen camping, racing and friends we dived into our Monday with our hearts filled with tons of good summer memories, laughter, hugs and sunshine …

So, for some reason I love the fresh start of new everydays. It gives me the opportunity to create new routines, start fresh and make changes.

One of the things I love the most with “everydays” are planning, preparing and making the meals and gather the family for a healthy meal. I love the idea of sitting around the table taking time to eat healthy and share what ever happened in our day.

The meal itself doesn’t have to be fancy, actually I love simple, easy made, tasty dishes the most.

Today I want to share a simple and fast potato-zucchini soup. I love this soup because it’s light yet filling and you can easily change it up using spices and other veggies.

It’s easy to like for the kids because of its smooth consistency and mild taste.

Now, just on to the recipe. You will whip up this soup in less than 15 minutes.
