This soup is as delicious as it is simple. Using only a few common ingredients and favorite seasonings you can whip this up in around 40 minutes.

Let’s get started!

You’re going to need…

  • 4 TBS butter

  • 2 TBS minced garlic

  • 1 diced white onion

  • Fresh thyme (to your taste)

  • 1 TBS garlic salt

  • 8 cups diced zucchini

  • 4 to 41/2 cups of veggie broth

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • salt and pepper to taste

Additional tools: emulsifying blender


Step One:

Drop your butter into a decent sized soup pot and turn the heat to medium. Once the butter melts and is evenly heated, add in your minced onion, minced garlic, and fresh thyme. Stir and allow to cook until the onions start to soften, then drop in your diced zucchini.
