* Ingredients *
1 cup chopped onions
2 T butter (I have used EVOO in place of butter and it tasted great!) *Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 cups diced zucchini
2 cups chicken broth
Dash of Salt
Dash of Pepper
1/2 cup half and half or milk
* Directions *
In a large saucepan cook onions in melted butter or EVOO until they are tender. Add zucchini and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until the zucchini is tender (about 15 minutes). Add salt and pepper. Cool slightly. Pour into a blender and blend well. Return to saucepan and stir in half and half (or milk) and reheat, but do not boil. I like to dip a piece of whole wheat bread in my soup. This dish is a great low-calorie option that really fills you up.
