You want creamy, quick comfort food? This Easy Creamy Zucchini Soup delivers. Jacob perfected this recipe to use garden zucchini fast. We use a small potato for natural thickness, keeping it light and satisfying. It’s a simple one-pot project ready fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 1 small Yukon Gold potato, peeled and chopped (for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or cashew cream for vegan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped zucchini and potato to the pot. Stir well.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potato and zucchini are very tender, about 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup until completely smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer in batches to a standard blender and return to the pot.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream (or cashew cream), salt, and pepper. Heat gently for 2 minutes, but do not boil.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, topped with Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, skip the heavy cream. You can substitute with 1/2 cup of full-fat, unsweetened cashew cream blended in at the end.
  • If you skip the optional potato, you must blend thoroughly to achieve thickness. You can also add 1/2 cup of frozen peas for color and body.
  • This soup freezes well. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
  • For a low-carb focus, omit the potato entirely and use extra zucchini, blending very well.
