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

- 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.
