Creamy oregano and zucchini soup (dairy free)

Serves 6

This is a perfect soup to add into your winter menu for warming and boosting your immune system up. This soup is nice made into large batches and either frozen or used within 5 days. Having some extra soup in the fridge or freezer provides a healthy warming meal or snack option. Which is super handy in times you are feeling a little under the weather and don’t feel like cooking.

 The star ingredient oregano has antibacterial actions that help keep your immune system strong and adding some pumpkin seeds at the end as a garnish will give you a zinc boost helping with the development of healthy immune cells.

 

Keep strong this winter and enjoy nourishing healthy soups like this.
