What goes in roasted zucchini and potato soup?

Ingredient notes

• Zucchini: It's also known as courgette in some countries. Use a fresh medium-sized zucchini. There is no need to peel it.

Recipe tips and tricks

• This zucchini soup can be made without potatoes too. For creaminess, you may add some coconut milk. Non-vegans may use cream too.
• If you have a large baking tray, instead of baking potatoes and zucchini separately half-bake potatoes, onion, and garlic then add zucchini cubes to the same tray and bake further.
• If you don't have an oven, saute potatoes, onion, garlic, and zucchini in a pan and then use them in the recipe.
• You can replace potatoes with sweet potatoes to make this soup.
• Other vegetables like spinach or broccoli can also be added to this zucchini potato soup. If using broccoli, roast it too with other vegetables.
• Feel free to add other seasonings of your choice.
