How to Make Creamy Zucchini Soup
- Finely chop 1 medium yellow onion.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Add 3 medium zucchini, roughly chopped, to the pot and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a richer flavor). Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the zucchini is very tender.
- Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender). Puree until smooth and creamy.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk) and season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Heat through gently for a few minutes. Do not boil after adding cream/milk.
