This is a very simple soup that combines the rich flavor of fresh vegetables with the coolness of mint, served with smoky grilled zucchini. It’s light, but packed with flavor and perfect alongside sandwiches or a big salad. It can be served warm, just after cooking or cool, like a gazpacho.

  7. Put on a slice of green and yellow zucchini on top of the other and roll up into a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining slices.
  8. Secure with bamboo sticks or toothpicks.
  9. Grill them on a pan over medium heat for 1 minute on each side.
  10. The soup can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold.
  11. Pour the soup into the bowls, put two or three grilled rolls in the middle, pour over some oil and decorate with some herbs.
