Greetings dear friends, welcome to my blog. Today I am once again joining the weekly contest Qurator's: Hive Top Chef! | One Color Plate. This week, I was at a loss for what to make—a dish that’s a single color and also delicious—and it seemed a bit challenging at first. I settled on a dish that met all those criteria, but I added three more qualities: healthy, nutritious, and low in calories.
My star ingredient was zucchini; I wanted a green dish, so I added broccoli and green vegetables like leeks, scallions, bell peppers, and sweet chili peppers—which are also green. I chose not to sauté anything to make the cream as healthy as possible, and as for the flavor, just a little salt did the trick. I hope you like the recipe—it turned out quite thick without adding heavy cream or any other thickening agent, just potatoes.
Ingredients
- 75 grams of potato
- 15 grams of green bell pepper
- 15 grams of garlic chives
- 5 grams of scallions
- 140 grams of cooked broccoli
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt to taste
Preparation
1.- Wash the zucchini and cut it into pieces; leave the skin on to retain the green color.
2.- Wash the green vegetables (bell pepper, sweet chili pepper, leek, and scallions) and cut them into chunks—they don’t have to be small, since the idea is to blend them after cooking. Chop the garlic into small pieces and place the ingredients in a pot.
3.- We also cut the potato—which we've already peeled and washed—into pieces, and add it to the pot with the other ingredients, including the broccoli. Then, we add 1 ½ cups of water.
4.- Season with salt to taste and dried oregano. Cook until the vegetables are tender. Turn off the heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
5.- Add the ingredients to the blender along with the cooking water. Blend well and serve our green zucchini and broccoli soup.
This is how this green cream turned out—I hope you liked it.
I hope you liked it, this has been my participation in Hive Top Chef competition. See you another time.
