Istruzioni

Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add garlic and onions, and cook for 3 - 4 minutes until they are light golden brown.

Add zucchinis, broth and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium. [Optional: Scoop brown foam (scum) off surface every now and then.]

Cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until zucchini is very soft.

Use a stick blender to whizz until smooth. (To use a blender, you must cool slightly before whizzing otherwise the heat will expand, the lid will blow off and you’ll get soup everywhere.)

Stir through cream and milk. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Ladle into bowls, swirl over a touch of cream if desired, a pinch of shredded parmesan, and more pepper. Serve hot or at room temperature.
