Zucchini soup with cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook zucchini soup with cream? Prepare the necessary products. Instead of olive oil, any odorless vegetable oil will do.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the carrots, pre-washed in water with a brush, and chop as desired, but not too large. Also peel and chop the onions. The shape of cutting vegetables in this case does not matter, since they will be chopped during the cooking process.

3. STEP 3

   

   What kind of zucchini works best? Choose young fruits with delicate skin. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut off very thin skin. If using more mature squash, trim off the rough skin and scoop out the seeded center. Cut the zucchini into small slices.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a frying pan with olive oil, simmer the chopped carrots and onions, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the prepared zucchini in the pan and stir. If necessary, add a couple of tablespoons of water. Simmer the vegetables over medium heat, stirring, until half cooked.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the vegetables in a suitable sized pan. Pour in hot water until it just barely covers the vegetables. Cook over moderate heat until the vegetables are soft. The amount of water indicated in the recipe can be reduced or increased according to your wishes, depending on whether you want a thicker or thinner soup.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the pan from the stove. Grind the hot vegetable mass with an immersion blender until pureed. Do this carefully so as not to get burned.

8. STEP 8

   

   Bring the vegetable puree to a boil over low heat. Add salt, add nutmeg, stir.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour in the cream and stir.

10. STEP 10

    

    Bring the puree soup to a boil, remove from heat.

11. STEP 11

    

    Zucchini soup with cream is ready. Bon appetit!

I really liked the creamy zucchini soup. It is easy to prepare, cooks quickly enough, and has a wonderful taste. It tastes like squash caviar, but only much more tender. Cream (I used 20 percent) goes well with zucchini. The texture of the soup is very light and soft. My daughter especially liked the soup, she even asked for more (which doesn’t happen often). Julia, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!

Everything turned out just as I imagined! Zucchini soup with cream really has a delicate creamy taste, and due to the fact that the vegetables are simmered in a frying pan, the soup becomes more interesting, while it is light and incredibly tasty. Thanks to the author for the recipe!
