About
Just 4 ingredients (not including salt and pepper) brings together this simple soup that tastes incredible! Plenty of fragrant garlic gives the zucchini a rich, savory flavor that makes each bowl of this soup easy to slurp down. It’s also totally vegan! Just make sure to check your vegetable broth, as some brands do include animal product.
Ingredients
- 3 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cup vegetable broth, bouillon or consomme
- 1 pound zucchini
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground
Instructions
- Mince 3 garlic cloves and heat them in the bottom of a large soup pot with the olive oil. Cook over low heat until the garlic become fragrant and slightly golden.
- Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, add in the zucchini. You may want to chop the zucchini for easier mixing in the next step.
- Cook the zucchini in the soup for about 8 minutes or until the zucchini is soft enough to easily break apart with a spoon. Then, remove the soup from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup into a smooth, silky, bright green broth.
- Return the pot of soup to a low simmer and stir in the salt and pepper. You can simmer openly for 2-3 minutes to thicken the soup even more, if you wish. For garnishing, you can add more pepper, parmesan cheese, or fresh parsley at your discretion.
