Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the vegetables

    Peel the zucchini and potatoes. Cut them into cubes of about 2 cm. Peel and finely chop the onion.

  2. Cook the onion

    Heat the olive oil in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2 min without browning.

  3. Add the vegetables

    Add the zucchini and potato cubes to the saucepan. Stir well to coat them with the onion.

  4. Add the broth

    Add the vegetable broth until the vegetables are covered. Bring to a boil over high heat.

    Tip · If you use a bouillon cube, make sure it's vegetable-based (no meat or poultry flavoring).

  5. Simmer

    Lower the heat to keep a gentle boil. Cook for 15 min, stirring now and then.

  6. Check if it's done

    Poke the potatoes with the tip of a knife: it should slide in easily. If not, cook 2-3 min longer.

  7. Blend the soup

    Skim the surface if needed. Blend the soup in a blender or with an immersion blender until smooth.

    Tip · For a creamier texture, you can mash some of the vegetables with a fork before blending everything.

  8. Adjust the seasoning

    Taste and add salt and pepper as you like. If the soup is too thick, add a little hot water.
