vegetarian Recipe: Potato Zucchini Soup

An easy, incredibly flavorful soup that tastes best just barely warm.

Yield 4-6 servings
Time 1 hour
Tools
  • medium pot with lid
  • wooden spoon
Ingredients
  • 3 T olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium potatoes, scrubbed and diced
  • 3˝ c vegetable stock or water
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 pound zucchini, diced
  • 1 T basil or pesto
Directions Heat oil, add onion, and sauté for 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add potatoes, 1˝ c liquid, salt, and pepper, bring to a boil, lower heat, cover, and simmer about 25 minutes, until potatoes are cooked.

Add remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, about 20 minutes, until zucchini is tender.

Let the soup cool for at least an hour, then serve warm.

Notes The original recipe calls for this soup to be served cold, but I find that it's not nearly as good chilled. It also loses flavor if you refrigerate and then reheat it, so try to serve it the same day you make it.
