  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8

Ingredients

Units
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 onions sliced thick
  • 1 medium chopped broccoli
  • 8 zucchinis cut into thick slices
  • 1 liter of vegetable stock
  • salt

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the oil and add the onion. Cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the broccoli and stir. Cook for a couple of minutes.
  3. Add the squash and vegetable broth.
  4. The broth will not cover everything but do not add more water because the squash release a lot of water, and the ending soup can be lackluster.
  5. Cook for 25 minutes after the boil, covered, stirring every 10 minutes.
  6. Verify that all squashes are cooked. They can easily be crossed with a fork.
  7. Cool slightly, and use the hand blender to process until creamy.
  8. Try and check the salt.
  9. Serve hot or warm. I put crash tortilla chips and crumbled queso fresco on mine.
