Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini, then cut them into small chunks.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the zucchini chunks and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, ensuring that the zucchini is fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is soft and tender.

Step 8

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, blend the soup in batches using a stand blender, then return it to the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 10

Return the pot to low heat and warm the soup for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let it boil after adding the cream.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
