How to Make Basil Zucc Soup

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
  2. Add 3 medium zucchini, chopped (about 3 cups), 4 cups vegetable broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until zucchini is tender.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves.
  4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until completely smooth.
  5. Return the soup to the saucepan and gently reheat. Do not boil.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of paprika, and a few extra basil leaves, if desired.
