Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4–5 medium zucchinis, chopped
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium gold potato, peeled and chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
Seasonings & Liquids
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 8 ounces canned coconut milk
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: In a 4-quart heavy pot, add the chopped zucchini, onion, potatoes, and garlic to start the base of the soup.
- Add Seasonings and Broth: Stir in the dried oregano, salt, ground black pepper, and pour in the vegetable broth making sure everything combines well.
- Cook the Vegetables: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium or medium-low. Cover the pot and let it cook gently for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables become tender.
- Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the hot soup to a high-speed blender in batches and pulse until creamy, taking care with hot liquids.
- Add Coconut Milk: Stir in the canned coconut milk thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Divide the creamy zucchini soup into bowls and garnish with croutons and fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm for a comforting meal.
- Store Leftovers: Transfer any leftovers into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- For a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth or water while blending.
- Use fresh parsley or your favorite herbs as garnish for added color and flavor.
- Be cautious when blending hot liquids to avoid splattering – work in batches and leave the blender lid slightly open.
- This soup is naturally dairy-free and vegan due to the use of coconut milk.
- Potatoes add a natural creaminess and help thicken the soup without adding cream or flour.
