This chilled courgette soup is a wonderfully light and refreshing dish, perfect for warm summer days when you want something nourishing but cool. The combination of tender courgettes and bright lemon zest creates a delicate base, while a generous handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley and dill adds a vibrant, herbal depth. It is an elegant way to make the most of a seasonal glut of courgettes from the garden or local market.

As a versatile dairy-free option, this soup relies on high-quality olive oil and fresh aromatics for its silky texture and savoury flavour. By using a quick-chill method in an ice bath, you can preserve the bright green colour and fresh taste of the herbs. Serve it in chilled bowls as a sophisticated starter or a healthy lunch, perhaps finished with a few delicate courgette blossoms for a touch of seasonal flair.

Ingredients for Chilled Courgette Soup

110g shallots, thinly sliced crosswise (240ml )
2 matskedar extra jungfruolivolja
675g courgette (3 to 4 medium), peeled and halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices
2 (2- by 1 1/2-inch) strips fresh lemon zest
1 tesked salt
1/4 teskedar svartpeppar
425ml reduced-sodium chicken broth (425ml )
1 3/4 cups water
1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk or plain yoghurt

How to make Chilled Courgette Soup

Cook shallots in oil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add courgette, zest, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until courgette is softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth and water and simmer until courgette is tender, about 3 minutes.

Purée courgette mixture, including zest, along with parsley and dill in a blender (in 2 batches if necessary) until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Transfer to a metal bowl, then set bowl into a larger bowl of ice and cold water (to quick-chill). Cool, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.

Stir in buttermilk and season with salt.
