01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter 1 yellow onion, chopped 4 zucchinis, grated 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 ½ cups vegetable broth 1 ½ cups water ¼ cup heavy whipping cream ground black pepper to taste

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by melting some butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Toss in the zucchini and garlic, and keep cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors come together. Pour in the vegetable broth and water, then bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Stir in the cream and season with some pepper to taste. Let it cook for a couple more minutes until everything is warmed through, then it’s ready to enjoy!
