ROASTED GARLIC AND ZUCCHINI SOUP

This recipe does require you to turn on your oven so if you do live somewhere that is still
hot, I’m sorry, this recipe might not fit the bill… but it is pretty fabulous cold.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1.5 pounds zucchini, chopped
• ¼ cup loosely packed fresh basil
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons diced red onion (optional)
• ¼ cup fresh organic diced tomato (optional)
• drizzle of olive oil (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Toss onion, garlic, and zucchini with oil and lay flat on a sheet pan. Roast for 25 - 35 minutes, until zucchini is tender and browned, tossing occasionally.
3. Add onion, garlic, and zucchini to a blender with basil, oregano, and stock and blend until smooth. Add sea salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Top with the diced red onion, tomato, and drizzle of olive oil, if using. Add extra black pepper if desired. Serve warm or cold.
