Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

In a spacious Dutch oven, nestle the cubed zucchini with just enough water to barely cover the bottom. Gently simmer over medium-low heat until the zucchini yields to a fork's gentle poke, approximately 20 minutes.

02

Step
5 mins

With a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the tender zucchini to a blender, reserving about an inch of the simmering water in the Dutch oven for later. Blend until the zucchini transforms into a smooth, luscious puree; return this vibrant puree to the pot.

03

Step
5 mins

In the same blender, combine the diced red bell peppers, chopped red onions, and fresh cilantro. Pulse until finely minced, creating a fragrant medley. Gently fold this mixture into the zucchini puree, enriching the soup with depth and complexity.

04

Step
7 mins

Stir in the heavy cream, Swiss cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese melts into a silken embrace, and the soup is heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider sautéing the red onions and bell peppers in a touch of olive oil before adding them to the blender.
If you prefer a thinner soup, add a splash of vegetable broth or chicken broth.
Garnish with a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, or a few croutons for added texture.
