Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 pounds zucchini, crookneck or pattypan squash, roughly chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 6 cups Summer Vegetable Stock
- 1/2 cup julienned basil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Sour cream or plain yogurt as an accompaniment
Directions
Heat the oil in a large saucepan or stockpot, add zucchini and onion. Saute for 5 minutes or until onions are translucent and zucchini is crisp tender. Then add stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat and partially cover and cook for 25 minutes. Add basil during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Mix the butter and flour together into a paste. Remove 1 cup of simmering stock and whisk in butter mixture until smooth. Add back into soup, stir until thickened. Remove soup from heat to a blender and puree until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice and serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

A great way to use up that bumper crop of zucchini and summer squash! I made it with homemade chicken stock that I had on hand, and it was excellent.

This recipe is a bit on the bland side for me. I made a similar soup recipe that had sweet corn added and it was much yummier.
