This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds carrots, chopped
1/2 cup buttermilk
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Select the right zucchini and carrot: Choose firm, unblemished zucchini and carrots for the best flavor and texture. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be less tender.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use an immersion blender: An immersion blender is the easiest way to puree the soup. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender, but be careful not to overfill it.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is pureed, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Cream of zucchini and carrot soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy these summer vegetables. It's a great soup to serve as a starter or main course, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With its creamy texture and fresh flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
