Ingredients

– 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– Optional: Lemon juice for added zing


Instructions

Creating a delicious bowl of Chilled Zucchini and Dill Soup can be simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. Cook the Zucchini: Add the chopped zucchini to the pot and continue to sauté for 7–10 minutes, until they start to soften.

3. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the zucchini is covered. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.

4. Blend the Soup: Once the zucchini is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches to blend until creamy.

5. Add Dill and Seasoning: Stir in the chopped fresh dill, season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix thoroughly.

6. Incorporate Cream: Mix in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until well combined.

7. Chill the Soup: Transfer the soup to a container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill.

8. Blend Again (Optional): If you prefer an even smoother consistency, blend the soup again after chilling.

9. Final Taste Adjustment: Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may want to add a splash of lemon juice for added brightness.

10. Serve: Ladle the chilled soup into bowls and garnish with a sprig of dill or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
