Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, chopped

1 large onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes for a kick

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.

    Cook the Zucchini: Add the chopped zucchinis to the pot. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they’re tender. If you’re using chili flakes, add them at this stage.

      Add the Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

        Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. (Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a blender in batches.)

          Stir in Cream: Return the blended soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk). Add dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep stirring until heated through, about 5 minutes.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Drizzle a little extra cream over the top for presentation, if desired.
