Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice them into thin rounds.
Peel and dice the onion into small pieces.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini starts to soften and release its juices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the zucchini is very tender.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy.
Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy!
