Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 large onion, finely diced

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 medium potato, peeled and diced

4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium if preferred)

1 cup heavy cream (or substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Fresh herbs such as chives or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for roughly 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and soft. Next, add the minced garlic, stirring continuously for another minute until it becomes fragrant but not browned.

    Cook the Vegetables: Incorporate the chopped zucchini and diced potato into the pot. Stir well to ensure everything is coated with the aromatics. Allow the mixture to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and begins to soften.

      Add the Broth: Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

        Blend the Soup: After the vegetables are cooked, remove the pot from the heat source. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. For a chunkier soup, you may blend only half of it, leaving the other half intact for texture.

          Stir in the Cream: Return the pot to low heat, and gently stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream). Season the soup with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, dried thyme, and dried basil. Let the soup simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

            Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with a generous sprinkle of fresh herbs. For an extra touch, drizzle olive oil or add a swirl of cream before serving. Enjoy the comforting flavors of your creamy zucchini delight!
