Ingredients
- 4 medium summer squash, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. You know it’s ready when you can smell that garlic goodness!
- Add the sliced summer squash to the pot. Stir everything together and let that cook for about 10 minutes until the squash is tender.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, bring it to a simmer, and let it cook for about 15 minutes. This will let all those flavors meld together.
- Once the squash is nice and soft, remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it’s smooth. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer it in batches to a blender!
- After blending, return the soup to the pot, and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the soup gently until warm, but don’t let it boil. Finally, ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil. Enjoy this bowl of sunshine!
