Broccoli and zucchini puree soup
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I'd like to point out that the broccoli and zucchini soup puree can be made even more diet-friendly by skipping the step of sautéing the onion beforehand. In this form, it's perfect for those who monitor their diet and count calories. Before serving, you can top the dish with sesame seeds or a handful of pine nuts, for example.
