Original recipe for 4 servings

  • 600 g zucchini
  • 1 medium potato
  • 1 small onion
  • 750 ml vegetable broth
  • Olive oil, salt and pepper

Step by step

Follow the timeline: technique icon, time and temperature when relevant.

  1. Step 1 Pan 3 min

    Sauté chopped onion in olive oil over medium heat for 3 minutes without browning. Add diced zucchini and potato and cook 5 minutes more, stirring.

  2. Step 2 Pot / simmer 16 min

    Pour in hot broth to cover the vegetables. Simmer 15-18 minutes until potato and zucchini are very tender.

  3. Step 3 Pot / simmer 2 min

    Blend with an immersion blender until silky. If too thick, add more broth; if too thin, simmer uncovered 2 minutes more.

  4. Step 4 Serve

    Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and freshly ground black pepper.

Storage

Chef tips

  • No cream needed: potato gives natural body.
  • Taste for salt before and after blending: broth dilutes seasoning.
  • Freezes well in portions for up to 2 months.
