Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 large onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (or substitute with your favorite non-dairy milk)

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (adjust to taste)

Juice of half a lemon

Optional: Fresh herbs (such as basil or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing the zucchinis, onion, and garlic. Chop the zucchini into bite-sized pieces, dice the onion finely, and mince the garlic. Set all prepared ingredients aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and tender. Incorporate the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

      Cook the Zucchini: Add the chopped zucchini to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The zucchini should start to soften and slightly brown.

        Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and cooked through.

          Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you prefer using a countertop blender, allow the soup to cool slightly, then blend in batches until smooth, ensuring safety by not overfilling the blender.

            Stir in Coconut Milk and Spinach: Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender), and stir in the coconut milk along with the chopped fresh spinach. Heat the mixture over low heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the soup is warmed through and the spinach has wilted.

              Add Lemon Juice: Just before serving, stir in the juice of half a lemon to brighten the flavors. Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper according to your preferences.

                Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls or meal prep containers. If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs, like basil or parsley, on top for added flavor and color.
