Ingredients:

• 3 pounds zucchini, cut into chunks
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons onion, minced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 leaf fresh herb (basil or oregano), chopped
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (optional)
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Method

Cook zucchini in stock until tender. Pour off stock and reserve. Puree zucchini in a blender or food processor. Pour into saucepan. Stir in reserved stock, onion and seasonings. Heat throughly, stirring to prevent scorching. Serve hot or cold, stirring in cream at serving time. Garnish with parmesan cheese.

Notes: You can omit the heavy cream that's added before serving, but I like the richness of it in the soup.
