Ingredients
Method
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly and chop them into uniform pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about five minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Toss the chopped zucchini into the pot and stir to coat in the oil and aromatics.
- Pour in the vegetable broth until it just covers the vegetables. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Remove from heat and let cool for about ten minutes.
- Transfer the soup to a high-speed blender. Add fresh dill, mint, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt if using. Blend until smooth.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Pour into a large bowl or container, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
- Before serving, stir and adjust consistency with cold water or broth if needed. Garnish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
Chill serving bowls to keep the soup at the perfect temperature. Adjust seasoning before serving, as cold soups may require more salt.
