  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
3T Olive Oil, sliced thin3T Garlic, minced1 large onion, any type3 carrots, washed and sliced thin1 zucchini, washed and sliced thin1 yellow crookneck squash, washed and sliced thin1 Roma tomato, cut in a few pieces48 oz Chicken broth (I prefer Swanson's)2t salt1/2t pepper1t Thyme, fresh OR 1/2t dried2T heavy cream
Directions
To a large pot add:
olive oil and garlic, heat and add onions. Stir to coat with oil and garlic. Cover to sweat and soften onions.

(Wash and cut vegetables as you go to give the harder ones time to soften.)

Wash and slice carrots, stir into onions, replace lid.
Wash and slice zucchini, stir into pot, replace lid.
Wash and slice crookneck, stir into pot, replace lid.
Wash and cut up tomato, stir into pot.

Pour in chicken broth, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir well. Cover. Simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are soft.

Let cool.

Using a stick blender, blend until vegetables are no longer visible. This will thicken the broth up and make it seem there are no vegetables at all in the soup.

Stir in heavy cream.

Serve, enjoy.
