Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 4 medium, sliced courgettes (zucchini)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
Add the sliced courgettes to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the courgettes are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and carefully blend it in batches in a countertop blender.
Once smooth, return the soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the low-fat milk, and season with salt and black pepper. Heat gently for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped dill.
