Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium zucchini, sliced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini to the pot and cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches.
Return the pureed soup to the pot and place it over low heat.
Stir in the coconut milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, and cook gently until heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
