Calories: 184kcal
Equipment
- Immersion blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 leek ends removed, diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced or finely diced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 large zucchini diced
- 1 large potato peeled, diced
- 2 cups broccoli
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley + more for garnish
- pinch salt
- pinch ground black pepper optional
Instructions
- Drizzle olive oil in a large soup pot, and add the leeks, garlic and dried thyme. Saute the leeks on a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally and being careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Tip in the diced zucchini, potato and broccoli, stir well, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a very light simmer, add the fresh parsley and cook for 15 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup, or transfer batches to a food processor to blend. Ladle into your serving bowls and add any toppings you like.
Notes
- Wash the leeks well, including between the leaves and dice into rounds.
- Dice the peeled potato into small pieces so they cook through, and ensure they are fork tender before blending the soup.
- Adjust the amount of herbs and garlic to preference. Zucchini has a very mild flavor, so you can add more seasoning if you like!
- You can use a food processor to blend if you don't have an immersion blender.
