Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium zucchini, sliced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk, unsweetened
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or 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 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini starts to soften.
Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is very tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the chopped basil leaves, salt, black pepper, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice.
Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with a few extra basil leaves if desired.
