I have been on a bit of a spiralizer kick lately. I think it’s because I rearranged one of the cabinets in my kitchen and finally made room for things I actually use a lot like my huge frying pans, super-sized mixing bowls and spiralizer instead of the mountain of baking equipment that only gets action once a month or so. I have also been on a Vegan Pesto kick. This is nothing new and pretty much happens every year as soon as the temperature tips over 70. Pesto on everything!

Lately, I have been making a bunch of different spiralized veggies at once and storing them in the fridge — this is awesome because you only have to clean that thing once (such a pain!) and you have tons of veggie noodles on hand to quickly create dishes like this!

This soup has been one of my go-to lunches for weeks now and I am super excited to share it with you. This year, I am working with Pacific Foods again as a Brand Ambassador and guess what, I am representing their line of broths. How exciting is that!? I would love to hear from you guys if you have any questions about how to use a specific Pacific Foods broth or better yet, have any recipe requests? Email me or leave a comment!

This quick Vegan Zucchini Noodle Soup is such a tasty lunch. If you are not vegan, top it with a fried egg or add some shredded chicken or shrimp. Either way, you are going to love it!

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion spiralized
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes washed
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 20 to 25 turns freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 6 cups Pacific Foods Organic Vegetable Broth Low Sodium
  • 1 pound organic zucchini spiralized
  • 1/4 cup Vegan Pesto plus more for serving
  • toasted pine nuts for serving optional
Instructions
To Prepare:
  1. Grab your spiralizer, use the small noodle blade to quickly spiralize the onion and then the zucchini. Set both aside.
To Cook:
  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium high heat. Once hot, add olive oil and then onions, tomatoes, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften and tomatoes begin to blister.

  2. Grab a spatula and use it to flatten the tomatoes so they release their juices. Add crushed garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds until garlic is fragrant.
  3. Add Pacific Foods Organic Vegetable Broth Low Sodium and bring to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, remove from heat, add 1/4 cup pesto, stir to combine and taste for seasoning. You may need to adjust the salt or pepper.
  5. Submerge zucchini noodles into broth (they immediately start to cook) and divide out into 4 bowls. Top each with a dollop of vegan pesto and some toasted pine nuts, serve and Enjoy!

    I need to rearrange some of my kitchen cabinets, too. Also need to get one of those spiralizer things — they look like fun! This recipe sure is — just loaded with good stuff, and easy. Just the way I like my recipes! Good stuff — thanks.

      You have to get a spiralizer John – you can do so many things with it!
