Quick and easy soup that tastes good and is a great way to get some veggies and vitamins in your diet. Light and healthy and great for the freezer.

The addition of some raw extra virgin olive oil at the ent and some nutmeg really boosts teh flavours...yum! Ingredients:
4 large zucchini |
4 cups chicken stock |
salt to taste |
extra virgin olive oil |

1. Chop veggies into roughly 1 inch chunks
2. Place in a medium saucepan and pour in just enough broth to cover vegetables. (adjust amount of stock according to the size of the zucchini).
3. Bring to a boil and cook for another 10 minutes or so, until vegetables are bright green and tender.
4. Turn off heat and puree solids in a food processor (or use an immersion blender).
