Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, diced

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn) or frozen corn

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for a vegan option

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil or chives, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: Start by washing and dicing the zucchinis and chopping the onion. If using fresh corn, shuck the corn and cut the kernels off the cobs.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Add Zucchini and Corn: Stir in the diced zucchini and corn kernels, cooking for about 5-7 minutes. The zucchini should be slightly tender but still firm.

        Season the Soup: Sprinkle in the thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

          Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.

            Blend the Soup: After simmering, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer batches of the soup to a regular blender. Blend until creamy, then return to the pot.

              Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, heating through for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or spices if desired.

                Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or chives for a burst of color and flavor.

                  Enjoy: Serve with crusty bread on the side for a complete meal!
