Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the yellow onion.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they become soft and translucent.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 7

Add the sliced zucchini to the pot and stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the zucchini starts to soften.

Step 8

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is very tender.

Step 9

Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring the soup to a countertop blender in batches), blend the soup until it is smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 11

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, if needed.

Step 12

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and serve hot.
