Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium zucchini sliced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves 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 (regular or immersion)
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and sliced zucchini to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini starts to soften.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until zucchini is very tender.
Finishing
  1. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
  2. Return the blended soup to the pot (if you used a regular blender). Stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

For an extra touch, garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley, or a swirl of crème fraîche. You can also roast the zucchini first for a deeper flavor profile.
