Zucchini Soup

Steps

1. 1In a large pot set the heat to high, add the oil and zucchini. Allow it to sear and become golden and brown on one side. This will take about 3 minutes. Don’t move the zucchini so it browns properly.
2. 2Once one side is browned, add onion and garlic with a teaspoon of salt and freshly cracked pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on high until the onions begin to soften and the edges become golden.
3. 3Add the broth and bring to a boil. Once it is boiling lower the heat to low add the basil and simmer for 15 18 minutes. Once the zucchini and onions have softened add the spinach and turn off the heat. The spinach will automatically wilt with the heat.
4. 4Blend with an immersion blender or vitamix blender until completely smooth. *see not about making the soup creamy. Serve and garnish.
