This Carrot Potato Zucchini Soup recipe was inspired by one of my earliest soup memories. I remember being sick and my sister had crafted a hearty vegetable soup from scratch for me. I still reminisce the rich texture and taste of carrots but unfortunately when I had brought this soup up to my sister years later, she couldn’t recall how she made it. This was my attempt to re-create the amazing soup that helped me recover from a cold years ago. It’s the perfect winter soup, thick and just absolutely delicious, comforting and filling!

This was a wonderful soup….thank you! I was looking for something to use up some vegetables and had everything needed except the onion and celery. I skipped the onion and used some celery flakes instead of whole celery. Also reduced the amount of dill, just because I find that too much overwhelms a recipe for me. The soup turned out exceptionally flavorful and made enough for about six servings, as noted.

Had everything but the celery and I’m pretty sure I flubbed the herb measurements because I don’t own a blend of herbs de provence so I made my own little mix with what was available. The soup was fantastic. I hand blended it and left a few smaller chunks to give it texture. We all loved it, it pairs great with some saltines, and it was a nice hearty meal as we’re currently recovering from some food poisoning. Will definitely make again 🙂
