Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, cut into quarters
4 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
4 cups chicken broth (such as Swanson Organic)
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh dill, or 1 tablespoon dried, plus more for serving
½ cup walnuts, toasted
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, from 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-low heat in a large pot. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent. Do not brown.
  • Add the zucchini, chicken broth, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
  • Meanwhile, place the walnuts on the prepared baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. (Keep a close eye on them as nuts can burn quickly.)
  • Add the dill and walnuts to the soup. Using a stick blender, purée the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, purée the soup in batches in a blender. Be careful not to fill the jar more than halfway, and leave the hole in the lid open and loosely cover with a dish towel to allow the heat to escape.)
  • Add the lemon juice and the remaining tablespoon of oil to the soup, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (I usually add about ¼ teaspoon more salt). Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with more olive oil, sprinkle with dill, and serve.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost it in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, until completely thawed. Serve cold or reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender zucchini. The best zucchini for soup are small and firm, with no blemishes. Avoid zucchini that are large or have thick skins, as these will be tough and less flavorful.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini. This will help to prevent the zucchini from shredding or tearing.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini. Zucchini cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the soup for extra flavor. Dill is a classic herb to pair with zucchini, but you can also use basil, thyme, or oregano.
  • Serve the soup hot or cold. Zucchini soup is delicious either way, so you can enjoy it all year long.

Conclusion:

Zucchini and dill soup is a healthy, flavorful soup that's perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With its creamy texture and fresh, herbal flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
