Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, grated parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced zucchini to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth, cover the pot, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until the zucchini is soft and tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches, blending carefully and returning it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with grated parmesan cheese and additional parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy!
