Zucchini (Courgette) Soup

Total time: 30 minutes
    This is a simple recipe, but delicious. You could chop some olives to sprinkle on top, snip fresh chives or even a dab of pesto on top of the yogurt! Don't peel the zucchini, it's healthier and gives the soup a nice color! 

 Ingredients:

• 2 cups chopped zucchini    1 about 8" (20cm) long
• 1 medium onion
• 1 1/2 cups (12oz, 360ml) chicken stock
• 1 tbs butter
• 1 tsp fresh thyme
• 2 tbs (1oz, 30gr) Greek or plain yogurt for garnish

 Instructions:

• Chop onion and zucchini. 
• In medium saucepan sauté onion in butter until transparent. 
• Add zucchini and just enough chicken stock to cover. 
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. 
• Purée solids, adding enough of the stock to get the consistency for the soup that you like - we like it thick. 
• Snip thyme leaves and stir into soup. 
• Serve, either hot or cold, with a dollop of yogurt in the center.
