Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini (courgette)
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and chop them into medium-sized pieces. There's no need to peel the skin as it adds extra fiber and nutrients.

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add the chopped zucchini, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the zucchini to soften slightly.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 10-12 minutes until the zucchini is tender.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the unsweetened almond milk and fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 9

Simmer the soup for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the almond milk is warmed through.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra parsley or a sprinkle of black pepper, if desired. Enjoy!
