Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis chopped (about 300g)
  • 1 medium broccoli florets separated (about 250g)
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 liter vegetable or chicken broth
  • 250 ml milk (you can use your choice of milk)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables:

  • Wash the zucchinis and broccoli thoroughly.
  • Peel the zucchinis if desired and chop them into small chunks.
  • Separate the broccoli florets from the stalk.

Sauté the Onion and Garlic:

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the Vegetables:

  • Add the diced zucchinis and broccoli florets to the pot. Stir well with the onions and garlic.

Cook the Vegetables:

  • Pour in the vegetable broth to cover the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Blend the Soup:

  • Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, be sure to blend in batches and allow the soup to cool slightly before blending.

Add Cream and Seasoning:

  • Return the pureed soup to the pot if you used a regular blender.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup over low heat. Do not let it boil.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

Serve:

  • Ladle the hot zucchini and broccoli soup into bowls.
  • You can garnish it with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, or some fresh chopped herbs if desired.
