Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until lightly golden brown.

  2. Step 2: Add the zucchini, broth and water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. If desired, scoop the brown foam from the surface from time to time.

  3. Step 3: Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the zucchini is very soft.

  4. Step 4: Blend until smooth with a stick blender.

  5. Step 5: Stir in the cream and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6: Ladle into bowls. If desired, swirl a little cream over each serving, add a pinch of shredded Parmesan and more pepper. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Notes

The soup freezes well.

If using a countertop blender, let the soup cool slightly first. Blend in 2 or 3 batches, then return it to the pot.
