Fennel and Zucchini Velouté with Tomato Seed “Caviar”

Dill is always a flavorful addition to any dish. Dill has a bright, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor that makes it very refreshing. Like many other spices, dill is rich in volatile oils that contain antibacterial qualities. Surprisingly, dill is also high in calcium. The combination of flavors in this soup is very Mediterranean. You could also forgo the caviar and drink this as a smoothie!

1 lemon, juiced
2 cups peeled and chopped zucchini
2 tablespoons fresh dill
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons miso
