Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium zucchini green or yellow
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Blender (or immersion blender)
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and trim the zucchinis, then roughly chop them into 1-inch pieces; you don't need to peel them.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Cooking the Soup
  1. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  2. Stir in the chopped zucchini and vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a boil before reducing the heat and simmering for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is very tender.
  3. Carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth and creamy.
Finishing Touches
  1. Return the pureed soup to the pot, stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste; heat through gently without boiling.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, you can roast the zucchini before adding it to the soup. If you prefer a dairy-free option, use coconut milk or cashew cream instead of heavy cream.
