Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 medium courgettes zucchini, chopped
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese

  • Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in large pot over medium; cook onion 7-8 minutes until golden and caramelized, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add garlic; cook 1 minute until fragrant, stirring to prevent sticking.
  3. Add courgettes, broth, thyme, salt, and pepper; boil.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 15 minutes until courgettes are very fork-tender.
  5. Remove from heat; puree completely smooth with immersion blender, or carefully transfer to blender in batches.
  6. Stir in cream cheese and lemon juice until fully incorporated and creamy.
  7. Serve hot with basil.
