To truly let the delicate flavor of zucchini shine, this Zucchini Puree Soup recipe keeps things delightfully simple and light—no heavy cream or overpowering herbs here. It’s quick to whip up and bursting with flavor! The secret to its creamy texture, though? Puréeing the sautéed veggies at the end. You can savor this silky zucchini soup warm or chilled, and a sprinkle of fresh julienned zucchini makes for a lovely garnish.
There’s no need to peel the zucchini; the tender skin adds both texture and vibrant color. Simply halve each zucchini lengthwise and then slice into quarter-inch thick slices. And don’t worry about making uniform cuts; everything will blend together beautifully! Use about two pounds of zucchini in total, and remember to save some raw zucchini for garnish.
To make the Zucchini Puree Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Add in 1 finely chopped onion, 1 thinly sliced garlic clove, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes.
Add in 1 ½ pounds sliced zucchini. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 10 minutes.
Pour in ⅔ cup vegetable stock and 1 ½ cups water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.
Purée the soup in a blender, working in batches if needed, until it's silky and smooth.
Pour the soup back into the saucepan. Taste and adjust for salt and black pepper.
Serve the soup hot or chilled, garnished with julienned raw zucchini.
