Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, chopped
5 cups chicken broth
2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
8 cups chopped yellow squash or zucchini
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

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 squash 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. Purée in batches until desired consistency is reached.

Tips

Substitute about 3/4 teaspoon dried basil for the fresh basil, if desired. If using dried basil, add to soup when adding potatoes.
