Ingredients

4 medium-sized zucchinis

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Zucchinis

Start by washing the zucchinis thoroughly under running water. Trim off the ends and cut them into small chunks. Set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Onion and Garlic

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant. This should take about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 3: Cook the Zucchinis

Add the zucchini chunks to the pot with the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir well to coat them with the flavors. Cook the zucchinis for about 10 minutes, or until they start to soften. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 4: Add the Vegetable Broth

Pour the vegetable broth into the pot with the cooked zucchinis. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to blend together perfectly.

Step 5: Blend the Soup

Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, blend the soup in batches and be careful as the mixture will be hot. Return the blended soup to the pot.

Step 6: Add the Cream and Seasonings

Pour the heavy cream into the pot with the blended soup. Stir well to combine. Add the dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Ladle the zucchini cream soup into bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of dried thyme or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve the soup hot and savor the taste of summer in every spoonful.
