Recipe for creamy zucchini soup with chicken broth
Step-by-step instruction:
1. Peel the onions and cut them into medium-sized cubes. Peel a large clove of garlic and cut into thin slices. Pour olive oil into a thick-bottomed pan. When it warms up, put the chopped vegetables into the pan. Stirring, saute the onions and garlic over medium heat until light golden brown.
2. Wash the zucchini, cut off the tails, cut the vegetables into medium-sized cubes. Add chopped zucchini to sautéed vegetables. Stir and continue frying the ingredients together for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Wash the potatoes, peel them, and cut them into medium-sized cubes. Add the potatoes to the pan with the remaining ingredients.
4. Pour hot chicken broth over the vegetables. Cover the pan with a lid and bring the soup to a boil. Remove the resulting foam with a slotted spoon, reduce the heat and simmer the soup over low heat until the zucchini and potatoes are cooked.
5. Using an immersion blender, puree the zucchini soup with chicken broth until smooth.
6. Return the pan with soup to the fire. Pour heavy cream into the puree soup, add salt and spices to taste. Bring the soup to a boil again and remove from heat.
