1 litre homemade chicken or vegetable broth

Pour in the homemade chicken or vegetable broth, then let the mixture simmer over medium heat for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.

After the zucchini has become tender, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender in batches to puree it until smooth and creamy.

Serve the zucchini soup hot, garnished with sprouts for a fresh and crunchy element.
