Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 4 medium, chopped zucchini
• 1 medium, peeled and diced potato
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, sauté the diced onion for 4-5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped zucchini and diced potato, cooking for 3-4 minutes to allow them to begin softening.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the fresh thyme sprigs. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the zucchini and potato are completely tender.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and discard the thyme sprigs.

Step 8

Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches to puree.

Step 9

Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 10

Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 11

Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
