Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 4 medium, sliced courgettes
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced courgettes to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the courgettes are very tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly before transferring it to a blender in batches.
Return the pureed soup to the pot, stir in the coconut milk, and heat gently over medium-low heat.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving and enjoy warm.
