Ingredients
- 2 large zucchinis
- 1 apple (preferably Granny Smith)
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by washing the zucchinis and apple thoroughly. Peel and dice the onion and garlic cloves. Set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant. This should take about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3: Cook the Zucchini and Apple
Add the diced zucchinis and apple to the pot. Sauté them with the onion and garlic for about 10 minutes, or until they become tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Simmer with Vegetable Broth
Pour the vegetable broth into the pot with the cooked vegetables. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 5: Blend the Soup
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids to prevent any accidents. If using a regular blender, blend in batches if necessary. Return the blended soup to the pot.
Step 6: Add Cream and Season
Pour the heavy cream into the pot and stir well to incorporate it into the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the creamy zucchini soup into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this delightful twist on a classic soup!
