Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 large (12 ounce) yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (cooking oil)
  • 3 large (8 to 9 ounces) zucchini (grated)
  • 1 large (8 ounce) potato (grated)

  • 1 cup water
  • 300 ml cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

  • Seasoning (optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Fry onion gently until transparent, taking care not to brown it. This should take about 5 minutes.

  • Step 2: Add vegetables, stock and water, and simmer for 10 minutes (taking care not to simmer any longer than this to avoid the soup becoming bitter).

  • Step 3: Add cheese, cream and basil and simmer a further 2 minutes. (At this stage you can blend the soup for smooth and creamy finish, but this is not necessary).

  • Step 4: Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.

  • Step 5: Serve with a thick crusty bread.
