Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 4 medium, sliced courgettes (zucchini)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
Step 2
Add the sliced courgettes to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Step 3
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the courgettes are tender.
Step 4
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and carefully blend it in batches in a countertop blender.
Step 5
Once smooth, return the soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the low-fat milk, and season with salt and black pepper. Heat gently for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped dill.
