Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, finely chopped

1 large onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large potato, peeled and diced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: Fresh basil leaves, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Cook the Vegetables: Add the chopped zucchinis and diced potato to the pot. Stir well and cook for about 8-10 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.

      Add Broth and Herbs: Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the dried thyme and basil. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender.

        Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.

          Finish with Almond Milk: Stir in the almond milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency.

            Serve and Store: Enjoy the soup hot, topped with fresh basil leaves or a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired. For lunchbox meal prep, let the soup cool completely, then store it in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
