Creamy Zucchini Soup

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 40 Min

By using a combination of cornstarch and low-fat milk, instead of heavy cream, we've reduced the fat and calories from traditional zucchini soup while keeping its rich 'n' creamy texture.

What You'll Need

1 cup chopped onion
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pound zucchini, chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
2 (14-ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dillweed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup low-fat milk
3 tablespoons cornstarch

What to Do

Coat a soup pot with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and sauté 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender, stirring frequently.
Add zucchini, chicken broth, dill, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, or until zucchini is tender.
In a small bowl, whisk milk and cornstarch until smooth; add to soup mixture and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until thickened.
