🛒 Ingredients
- Zucchini
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Slice the zucchini into bite‑size pieces, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20‑25 minutes until golden and caramelized.
- Transfer the roasted zucchini to a pot, add vegetable broth, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Blend until smooth, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Drizzle a swirl of extra‑virgin olive oil and sprinkle toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds for a crunchy finish, then garnish with fresh basil or chives.
- Serve alongside a slice of crusty sourdough or warm garlic‑herb flatbread to dip and soak up every silky sip.
- Pair the soup with a crisp, chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc or a sparkling cucumber‑mint water for a refreshing contrast.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Add a clove of roasted garlic or a pinch of smoked paprika before blending for an extra depth of flavor.
- Stir in a splash of coconut cream or cashew cream at the end for a richer, dairy‑free silkiness.
- Boost protein by tossing in a handful of cooked white beans or lentils right before serving.
- Make a big batch and freeze individual portions; reheated with a splash of broth, they taste just as fresh.
