Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan. Add the onions and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly until the soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 15 seconds. Add zucchini, salt, and pepper, and cook until tender. Add the stock and thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. |

Add the watercress, letting it wilt in the broth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and discard the thyme sprig. |

Add the soup to the blender (in batches if necessary) and puree the soup. Return to pan and stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste. |

Let cool and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 to 6 hours. To serve, swirl creme fraiche into each serving and garnish with watercress sprigs and chives |
