Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh basil
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Wash and roughly chop the zucchini into 1-inch pieces, leaving the skin on for extra nutrients and color.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, then sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped zucchini to the pot and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer until the zucchini are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a traditional blender, then return it to the pot once blended.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and half of the chopped fresh basil. Continue to heat the soup over low heat until fully heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with the remaining fresh basil and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
