Roasted Red Pepper Soup

This soup can be served hot or cold.

Roasted Cream of Asparagus Soup

It may not feel like it here in Chicago, but spring and asparagus season are just around the corner. Gear up with this flavorful soup.

For all you cabbage lovers out there, this recipe is a ZReduction take on a German classic. While you can whip this dish up in about 30 minutes, red cabbage tastes sweeter the longer you cook it -- so if you are on ZReduction and like your cabbage a little sweeter, cook it low and slow until the flavors mellow and meld to your liking.

Curried Asparagus Soup

Z2-Soup,Z2-Vegetarian

Serve in soup bowls with a protein of choice. In Z2 this is your veggie portion. You can have plain salad greens on the side if you need more. It’s very filling though.

Strawberry “Almost Ice Cream”

Z2-Beverages,ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z2-Vegetarian,Z2-Desserts,ZSpecialties

Dieter Claire invented this recipe by modifying the fruit parfait recipe and adding extra frozen strawberries. She says, "it's as close to ice cream as you can get." We agree.

French Onion Soup

This will taste pretty darn official!

Healthy Orange Creamsicle

ZSpecialties,Z2-Desserts,Z2-Vegetarian,ZS-Dieter Favorites

We have to thank Dieter Claire for inventing this recipe. She modified the fruit parfait recipe and developed a strawberry "ice cream" recipe and this recipe with frozen mandarin oranges. She says, “it’s like an orange creamsicle.” YUM!

Roasted Fennel

Z2-Vegetarian,ZSpecialties,Z2-Sides,ZS-5 Ingredients or Less

Fennel has a distinct flavor, but when it's roasted, the flavor mellows. If you like fennel, this recipe is great, and it's very easy to make.

Creole Soup (with or without protein)

Z2-Poultry,Z2-Vegetarian

This soup is super easy to make. If you are a fan of southern food this will hit the spot.

Angela’s Shortcut Ratatouille

Z2-Vegetarian,ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z2-Entrees,ZSpecialties

When you need some serious cold weather comfort food, ratatouille hits the spot. This shortcut ratatouille-inspired recipe was submitted by dieter Angela. She Zolafied the original recipe and created a delicious ZReduction veggie sauté that can be made in less than half the time of a traditional ratatouille.
