How to Make Basil And Zucchini Soup

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 small chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.
2. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and 2 cups of water. Add 2 medium zucchini, diced, and 1 cup of fresh basil leaves.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until completely smooth. Return the soup to the saucepan.
5. Stir in 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and heat gently. Do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
