Zucchini and yellow squash soup with bell pepper, cannellini beans, and more! A healthy vegan soup recipe packed with flavor! This easy soup recipe comes together in 30 minutes or less.
One of my favorite parts about making vegetable soup is how very versatile it is. Virtually anything you have on hand can be tossed in!
Fresh produce, beans, grains…even pasta of all kinds can be added! Leftover chicken? No problem..in it goes!
When the weather is chilly or I simply feel like a big comforting bowl of soup, I toss together this squash soup recipe. It’s just so satisfying!
For this edition of veggie bliss, I made a squash-centric soup using zucchini and yellow squash and added bell pepper, onion, cannellini beans, dried herbs, and diced tomatoes. The end result is a flavorful, filling meal that leaves you feeling energized and satisfied.
Serve it up with a rustic bread, like my Cheese and Herb Irish Soda Bread or Sweet Potato Rolls with Maple Bacon Glaze for an amazing dinner or lunch!
Recipe Adaptations:
- Incorporate your favorite vegetables – cauliflower, broccoli, carrot and celery are great!
- Replace cannellini beans with black beans, kidney beans, or garbanzo beans.
- Add protein – bacon, chicken, and shrimp are marvelous!
- Omit the diced tomatoes if you don’t have any on hand.

THs is a very. delicious veggie soup. I had extra butternut squash from another recipe that I used in it. Simply divine. Went well with homemade bread. Super easy to make. I doubled it for leftovers and I'm so glad I did. I did add garlic to it and a few bay leaves.

I did not have any avocado oil & could not find any at my local market. Could I use olive oil instead of avocado oil or should I simply omit the avocado oil altogether?
