Greek-Inspired Roasted Zucchini & Spinach Soup

A Family Recipe with a Mediterranean Twist

There’s nothing quite like gathering around the table with a warm bowl of soup that’s both comforting and nourishing. This Greek-inspired roasted zucchini and spinach soup is one of our family favorites — creamy, flavorful, and packed with wholesome ingredients.

The secret that makes this recipe stand out is the addition of Rallis Ice-Pressed® High Polyphenol Olive Oil. Unlike most olive oils, Rallis olive oil is ice-pressed at below-freezing temperatures to protect delicate antioxidants and polyphenols. The result is a bold, peppery olive oil that elevates every spoonful of this soup.

Whether you’re looking for a light lunch, a healthy starter, or a cozy dinner on a chilly evening, this Mediterranean soup fits perfectly into a clean-living lifestyle.

Ingredients

3 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons

2 cups fresh spinach, packed

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, peeled

3 tbsp Rallis High Polyphenol Olive Oil (plus extra for drizzling)

1 tsp dried oregano

½ tsp dried thyme

Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Juice of ½ lemon

Garnish (optional but recommended)

Crumbled feta cheese

Thinly sliced red onion

Fresh basil leaves (or oregano sprigs)

Instructions

1. Roast the Vegetables
   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place zucchini, onion, garlic, and potato on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp Rallis High Polyphenol Olive Oil, sprinkle with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and fragrant.
2. Build the Soup Base
