Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 1 medium onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the zucchinis thoroughly. Slice them into thin rounds and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sliced zucchini to the pot and cook for additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, until the zucchini is very tender.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer batches into a countertop blender to achieve a creamy texture.

Step 7

Return the pot to low heat and stir in the low-fat milk, allowing it to heat through without boiling.

Step 8

Season the soup with thyme, salt, and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, optionally garnished with fresh thyme sprigs or a sprinkle of black pepper.
