CREAM OF ZUCCHINI SOUP
Instant Pot or Stovetop
AUGUST 2023
2 Teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 ½ cups chopped (diced) zucchini. It took approximately 3 medium zucchinis
1 ¼ cup vegetable broth, chicken broth, or water.
Salt to taste (I salted after cooking)
Black Pepper to Taste
½ cup cream, half-half, etc. We use fat-free half & half
Instructions
Begin Instant Pot or pressure cooker on Saute mode. Heat oil. Add the onions and the zucchini. Saute until they have softened a little and gone a bit translucent.
Add the thyme, garlic powder, black pepper and stir to combine. Add the broth (or water).
Close the lid securely. Turn the black vent knob to "sealing". Select Manual on the Instant Pot. Cook on High Pressure for six minutes.
Once the cooking has finished, let the instant pot sit for 10 minutes. This is called a “slow release.” After the 10 minutes, you can do a final “quick release,” which means finishing releasing the pressure in the pressure cooker.
Puree the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. You can also use a blender.
For the last splash of creaminess - add ½ cup of cream, half and half, or fat-free half and half. Taste the soup - salt and pepper, and adjust if need be.
You can serve with bits of bacon, shredded cheese, chopped scallions, croutons, etc.
This soup is excellent served cold
Tips to stay safe when blending HOT liquids:
*If possible, cool food down before blending, and then reheat before serving.
*Blend small amounts at a time when blending
*Remove the little cap on the top of the blender lid, add a loose-fitting towel over it so food doesn’t splatter out
*Use a low blending speed
