HEALTHY CREAMY ZUCCHINI SOUP

This is one of my favorite soups I have here at Moni Meals! I love the texture, the flavor and the fact that I can happily enjoy bowls of it guilt-free.
Summer is a great time to enjoy this soup but honestly I make it all the time. Living close to the farmers market I always stock up on zucchini. Did I mention only 6 ingredients? This is a nice, light soup perfect anytime but also spring and summer. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 32 oz reduced sodium chicken broth or vegetable is fine. Bone broth also works.
  • 1/2 small onion quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic can add more garlic if you love it!
  • 3 medium zucchini skin on cut in large chunks (can also use yellow squash)
  • 1 serrano pepper- for heat can be optional
  • 2 tbsp of greek yogurt or sour cream I have also been loving goats milk yogurt
  • Himalayan salt or sea salt + black pepper to taste
  • bunch fresh parsley can be optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine broth, onion, garlic, zucchini, and pepper (if using) in a large pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and purée with an immersion blender (or can use a blender in batches). Next add the yogurt (or sour cream) and purée again until smooth. I add some fresh parsley (small handful) but that is also optional. Blend well.
  • Add salt and pepper and adjust to taste. Add extra fresh parsley for garnish.
  • I love to serve hot but you can also serve it cool. Enjoy!

Notes

I add in some heat by using a Serrano pepper but that can absolutely be optional if you do not love heat.
You can use vegetable broth to keep vegan and vegetarian if you prefer.
A reader mentioned they tried this recipe with different vegetables and loved it! EX: broccoli and a veggie medley (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots).
