Zucchini Soup

Zucchini is light on the digestive system, soothing for the body and has a mild and sweet taste to it. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, without being calorically dense which makes it great for weight-loss. It is also very hydrating and is wonderful for those suffering from constant dryness and constipation.
