• 4 medium zucchinis , sliced

How to Make Creamy Zucchini Soup

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is prepare the vegetables: Wash the zucchini and cut it into thin slices. Peel and chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Second: Sauté: In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is soft and fragrant.

Step 3

Now, let’s start cooking the zucchini: Add the zucchini slices to the pot. Stir everything together and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the zucchini to soften and release some of its moisture. Then, add the broth and simmer: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the soup to a boil over low heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the zucchini is fully cooked.

Step 4

Blend: Use a hand blender in the pot to blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Make sure to release steam while blending.

Step 5

To make it creamy: Return the blended soup to the pot if using a regular blender. Add the cream or coconut milk. Add salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese if using. Taste and adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Finally: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or additional cheese, if desired, and enjoy!

What to Eat with Creamy Zucchini Soup ??
