At this point, wash and trim the courgettes, then cut them into slices.
Pour the extra virgin olive oil Il Cavallino Special edition into a pan, let it heat up and add the leeks; Wait about 3-4 minutes, until they are wilted, stirring occasionally, then add the zucchini, salt, pepper and mix everything. Cook over high heat for 5-6 minutes and add the vegetable broth.
Cook for another 15-20 minutes, then blend everything with an immersion mixer until you get a cream. Add the fresh cream, mix and cook everything for another ten minutes, then pour your zucchini cream into a colander and sift it to get a smooth consistency.
Add the thyme leaves to flavor, serve and serve your zucchini cream!
