Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the onion and garlic cloves finely.

- Add the diced potatoes and chopped zucchini to the pot.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and let the vegetables simmer until they are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Optional: Top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Tips:
- Make sure to chop the vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh thyme and parsley for the best flavor. Dried herbs can be used in a pinch, but fresh herbs elevate the taste.
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup once all the vegetables are cooked.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste before serving. A little extra salt and pepper can make a big difference.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken gravy used or let the soup simmer longer to allow the liquid to evaporate.
- Serve with a sprinkle of grated parmesan on top for an extra burst of flavor.
