| Ingredients: | 1 small or 1/2 large yellow onion, chopped
olive oil 2 medium zucchini, sliced some mushrooms (optional) 1/2 can vegetable stock 1/2 tsp basil 1/2 tsp thyme 1/2 tsp powdered ginger |
||
| Preparation: | Cook the onions in olive oil until they're brown and soft, about 15 minutes on med-high heat. Add zuccini and cook another 10 minutes.
Dump this into a blender when done, and start to puree. Meanwhile, deglaze the pan with some of the vegetable stock. Pour this into the blender. Add ginger, thyme & basil to the blender. Salt to taste. Pour into bowl. If you want to do the mushrooms, saute them with butter. This will drastically affect the final taste/consistency/calorie count of the soup; it's almost a completely different dish. Add them to the bowl. |

| Notes: | Serves one. A bit earthy tasting, which is my vegetable equivalent of gamey meats. Could be the mushrooms though, I used oysters, since all I had were that and shiitake. Great dark olive color though. | ||
