(6)

This zucchini soup is savory, delicious, and reminiscent of a creamy broccoli soup. A bit of fresh dill for garnish really brightens it up and complements the earthy zucchini flavor. It's a great way to use up the bounty of summer zucchini!

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add zucchini, potato, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring often, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in stock and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
