Cook Time: 35 minutes
This creamy and flavorful soup is a perfect way to enjoy a healthy, comforting meal. With zucchini, potatoes, and aromatic herbs, it's both nutritious and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 8 zucchinis, chopped
- teaspoon dried basil
- teaspoon dried thyme
- teaspoon dried rosemary
- teaspoon ground white pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- cup dry potato flakes (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh dill weed
Directions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes, chopped zucchinis, basil, thyme, rosemary, and white pepper to the pot. Continue cooking and stirring for another 5 minutes, until the zucchini softens.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the whole milk and heat through, being careful not to bring it to a boil.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, add the optional potato flakes and stir until the desired consistency is reached.
- Season with soy sauce to taste, then garnish with freshly chopped dill weed for an added burst of flavor.
