This roasted zucchini and feta soup is simple, comforting, and packed with flavour.
Roasting the vegetables and feta first brings out a rich, slightly sweet flavour that you just do not get from boiling everything together. The feta adds a creamy, salty finish without needing loads of dairy, while the zucchini keeps it light and low carb.
Serve it with crispy pork rashers for a satisfying keto-friendly crunch.

Step 2: Add the vegetables
Scatter the diced onion and zucchini around the feta.

💡 Tips from the Keto Kitchen
• Do not skip roasting. It adds far more flavour than boiling the ingredients.
• If you prefer a thinner soup, add extra stock after blending.
• For extra protein, serve with crispy bacon or shredded chicken.
• Fresh basil also works beautifully as a garnish.
• This soup freezes well for easy meal prep.
