Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Melt butter in a heavy pot over medium heat; cook and stir onions until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add chicken broth and potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot, and simmer, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and simmer, about 10 minutes. Add zucchini and simmer until all vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Combine soup, basil, salt, and pepper into a blender or food processor no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until desired consistency is reached.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Yellow squash can be used in place of zucchini.
- Substitute about 3/4 teaspoon dried basil for the fresh basil, if desired. If using dried basil, add to soup when adding potatoes.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

Tasty! Used vegetable bouillon, added celery and cumin. Added mushrooms after blending. Lots of chopping, next time I’ll try not chopping since I have a Vitamix.
