Instructions

1. Peel and chop onion and garlic. Chop tomatoes and zucchini.

2. In a heavy stock pot, heat the oil over low-medium heat. Add the onion, and sauté 2 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.

3. Add the tomatoes and zucchini, and cook, stirring a few times, for 2-3 minutes, until the zucchini just begin to soften.

5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

6. Roughly chop or shred the basil, and stir it into the soup. Remove the soup from heat.

7. Partially blend with an immersion blender until chunky. Taste, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

8. Serve hot.
