Zucchini Soup w/ Lemon Thyme & Ginger

Although it has recently felt a bit like summer, it is technically still spring. And since it is, I thought what better way to highlight this than with a nice light spring soup that features one of spring’s often overlooked ingredients: zucchini!

This zucchini soup recipe can also be made vegan by replacing the chicken stock with vegetable stock.

Enjoy!
