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.

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.
