creamy zucchini soup

Only FIVE ingredients (not counting salt and pepper) is all it takes to make this quick, easy, delicious cream of zucchini soup my family's been enjoying for years!

Cream of Zucchini Soup

onion

garlic

zucchini

oz chicken broth (or vegetable)

tbsp reduced fat sour cream

kosher salt and black pepper

parmesan cheese if desired for topping (optional)

Combine chicken broth, onion, garlic and zucchini in a large pot over medium heat and bring to a boil.

Lower heat, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

Remove from heat and purée with an immersion blender, add the sour cream and purée again until smooth.

Taste for salt and pepper and adjust to taste. Serve hot.

A wonderful starter or a light meal, this creamy zucchini soup has delicious flavor with fresh herbs. Serve in small glasses for an appetizer, or in a cup with a crusty warm baguette.

Cold Zucchini Soup

butter

shallots, roughly chopped

garlic cloves, peeled and rough chopped

zucchini,

thyme

bouquet garni

heavy cream

oz (4 cups) vegetable broth

dill chives

In a large, heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat and add the shallots. Sautéing for 1-2 minutes, while stirring. Add the garlic and sauté another minute or two until fragrant and soft. 

Add the zucchini to the pot and continue cooking on medium heat till softened, about 4-5 minutes. Then add the stock, bouquet garni, dried thyme. Bring the soup to a low simmer (not boiling) for 15 minutes. No need to cover the pot.&nbsp;

After 15 minutes, remove the bouquet garni and add 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Stir until combined and remove from heat. Allow the soup to cool for a little bit, then place all the contents into a high speed blender, or use an immersion blender to blend directly in the pot until smooth. If using a regular blender, the soup may need to be blended in two batches.

Place the soup in a container that fits into the fridge and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours, if not more. The flavors will become much stronger the longer it sits. 

Garnish with dill and/or chives and serve cold.

Delicious and simple. Fresh from the garden herbs pushed it to the top!

I love this! I started this way of eating a few months ago by eliminating absolutely everything except for the most basic of basic food items. One of the things I've missed with a fiery passion is soup! I'm inspired by this recipe, and I'm so looking forward to finally filling my craving.
