Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis, and then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Introduce the chopped zucchini to the pot, along with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Stir everything to coat the zucchini in the oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is very tender.
Step 6
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend in batches using a countertop blender.
Step 7
Once blended, return the soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream and butter until well combined and buttery smooth.
Step 8
Taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with extra thyme leaves or a swirl of cream if desired.
