This Creamy Zucchini Soup is easy to make in less than 30 minutes! It’s a comforting recipe, made with no cream, that is not only healthy but absolutely delicious too!
I love creamy soups but I don’t like always using heavy cream. I get basically the exact flavors using flour, broth, and milk instead.
All you have to do to make this soup is sauté the onions and garlic in a little coconut oil. Add the flour, broth, and milk. Then add the grated veggies and seasonings. Then simmer for about 30 minutes.
Pair this zucchini soup with a favorite piece of fruit and slice of bread for a great healthy lunch or dinner.
How to Make this Cream of Zucchini Soup
In a large saucepan, saute the onion and garlic in the coconut oil on medium-high for 5-7 minutes or until the onion is tender.
Stir in the flour and mix until combined well.
Stir in the broth and milk and bring to a boil
Reduce the heat and add the zucchini, carrot, and thyme.
Cook for 30 minutes, or until veggies are tender, stirring occasionally.
ENJOY!!
Pro Tip: If you want to make it even more hearty, add a can of white northern beans or lentils.
Use other spices instead of thyme if you’d like. Basil or curry flavors are amazing too.

Came out tasty…..I mY have overdone the amount of onion, but it forgave me. Lol. And I admit I wanted smoother soup and so used immersion blender. So mine turned a lovely green instead of the pristine white. I will make it again. I used 1 tsp of salt and added 1/4 tsp more. Should have stopped there to keep it sweeter. But still good at 1 and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Will play more with seasonings next batch. Such yummy fun. Thank you for the recipe!

I followed perfectly, but the soup was bland and slightly curdled, as if the flour/coconut oil didn’t want to combine with the broth/milk regardless of boiling. It was not curdled, but not even close to silky. I added basil and many other seasonings to perk it up. Eventually I put it over rice and ate with pao de queijo, but won’t make again.

Can I use oat milk?
Sherri
I think plain oat milk would work just fine!
Cynthia
Thanks!!! God bless!!

What a delicious soup recipe and it looks so pretty in the bowl too! We’ve been having some unusually warm and sunny weather this fall too. I’d enjoy this soup any day though – it looks really comforting and delicious. Pinned and will share. Thank you for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Hop.

I’m allergic to broth. Do you have any recommendations for a substitute? Thanks!
Sherri
You could just use water if you’d like and add a tablespoon of butter along with a teaspoon of garlic powder and onion powder.

We still have zucchini from the garden and we are getting tired of it. I was happy to see a new recipe to use some zucchini!
Abby
I’m with you- I love the taste and coziness of cream-based soups without the actual cream. This looks delicious!
