Zucchini Soup

I love all of the amazing zucchini that is in stores during the summer and I’ve been taking full advantage of it this month with some of these easy zucchini recipes.

This simple zucchini soup is one of my new favorites because it takes less than 30 minutes to make and you can serve it hot or cold. I’ve been eating it for lunch all week!

What is in Zucchini Soup?

  • Zucchini
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Broth – You can use chicken broth or vegetable broth for this recipe. I don’t recommend beef broth because the flavor overpowers the zucchini
  • Heavy Cream – You can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt for the heavy cream if you prefer.
  • Salt & Pepper

How to Make Zucchini Soup

  1. Add zucchini, onion, garlic cloves, and chicken broth to a large pot and place a lid on it. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once the zucchini is extremely softened remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend everything into a smooth puree. 
  3. Add salt and pepper to the puree and then stir in the heavy cream. 
  4. Serve hot or let it cool for about 20 minutes before placing it in the refrigerator in a sealed container to chill.

Whether you serve your zucchini soup hot or cold is up to you. I do a mix of both, heating it up for dinner and eating it chilled for a quick lunch.

Grate a little Parmesan on top and cut a few slices of crusty bread to go with it and you have the perfect summer meal!
