Zucchini and Potato Soup

• 1 Zucchini - grated


• 2 - 3 large potatoes


• Garlic to taste


• 1 chicken stock cube


• 1 carton of skim milk


• 1 large onion - finely chopped


• Black pepper to taste

Method:

Place the potatoes in a microwave dish with only a small amount of water and a light spray of low fat cooking spray. Microwave the potatoes until they are thoroughly cooked. Place the onion, garlic and zucchini in a pan which has been only lightly sprayed with low fat cooking spray. Cook until soft. Combine all of the above in a large microwave dish adding the chicken stock - which you will need to disolve in a small amount of hot water, some skim milk and the pepper. Now blend together with a mixer until smooth in texture adding either more skim milk or some hot water if you prefer a thinner texture.

Optional: I sometimes add paprika to this soup when combining the mixture. Also low fat (that is very low fat or lean) bacon, chopped and cooked with the garlic and onion tastes great too.
