Zucchini Pesto Soup

This soup is so yummy. You don’t miss the “cream” and all the fat… it’s just gorgeous and satisfying.



Ingredients
1 chopped large onion
3 chopped cloves garlic
3 cups stock (chicken, beef, veggies, fish whatever)
4 zucchini grated or finly chopped
1 -2 cups pureed white beans (depending on how thick you want your soup) pureed with 1 cup fresh basil, olive oil, 1 clove garlic, and 1 tsp salt ( you can substitue spinach leaves, parley, or arugula if you don’t have basil around, it will change the flavor.. but will still be delicous!!!)
***
Heat olive oil and onion and garlic and saute’ until tender…
add stock and zucchini and bean puree with basil
Sprinkle a little bit of Parmesan or Romano cheese in… (it’s lowfat cheese, and hard cheeses are better for us than soft)
Heat through and ENJOY!!!
I triple this recipe, so I have it on hand for the week… it just gets better and better…
For my kids and hubby, I add a lovely salad with salmon or tuna mixed in, and crusty homemade whole wheat sourdough…
Buono Mangiare!
