Are you looking for a quick and tasty way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet? Then zucchini velouté is the perfect dish for you! This creamy and flavorful soup is not only easy to make but also a great way to use up any excess zucchinis from your garden. In this blog post, we will share our tried and tested recipe for this delectable dish.

What You’ll Need

  • 4 medium-sized zucchinis
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Start by washing the zucchinis and trimming off the ends. Then, cut them into small pieces.

2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until they become translucent and fragrant.

3. Add the zucchini pieces to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

4. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, ensuring that the zucchini is fully covered. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.

5. Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth.

6. Once the soup is smooth, return it to the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

7. Taste the velouté and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more broth to thin it out.

8. Serve the zucchini velouté hot, garnished with a sprinkle of black pepper or a drizzle of olive oil. It pairs wonderfully with a crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
