Mexican Zucchini Flower Soup Easy Recipe for the Holidays

The Mexican Zucchini Flower Soup is one of my favorites for the fall and winter. Brings me so many good memories from home and a nice cozy feeling. Because a bowl of this zucchini flower soup is so comforting and full of flavor. In my Mexican cuisine is very common to use edible flowers in dishes.

We eat hibiscus flower tacos and zucchini flowers in soups and quesadillas. Colorines or gasparitos to add a beefy flavor and deep red color, famous in Veracruz. Huauzontles, an edible flower herb common in Mexico City. And tetechas, a cactus flower used in the poblano cuisine. Not to mention roses for rose flan and ice cream.

Being the holiday time though would be appropriate to prepare a homey zucchini flower soup made with zucchini, zucchini flowers, corn and fresh tomatoes. Served hot garnished with Mexican crema, crumbled queso fresco, and homemade tortilla strips. This zucchini flower soup is easy to make and ready in no time.

This soup is a great idea to add to the holiday menu or to serve on your weekly meals for a surprising yet comforting soup that will delight everyone in the family. The zucchini flower soup is a vegetarian option since it is made with vegetable broth. And the Mexican crema and the cheese are optional.

Aside from joining Produce for Kids and Feeding America on this noble cause, we are volunteering at Second Harvest of Central Florida today Giving Tuesday.
