Instructions
Prepare the vegetables
Wash and chop the zucchinis and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Pro tip: Keep zucchini peels on for added nutrients.
Sauté the aromatics
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Pro tip: Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Cook the zucchinis
Add the chopped zucchinis to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pro tip: Ensure all zucchini pieces are coated in the oil and aromatics.
Simmer the soup
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the zucchinis are tender.
Pro tip: Cover the pot to retain moisture.
Blend the soup
Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and velvety.
Pro tip: Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches.
Finish with cream and season
Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pro tip: Reheat gently if needed, but do not boil.
Serve
Ladle the velouté into bowls and garnish with chopped chives and parsley.
Pro tip: Serve immediately for the best flavour.
