Ingredients

Directions

  1. Spray a 2-quart saucepan with Pam cooking spray and place it over medium-low heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan.
  3. Sauté gently, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced carrots, zucchini, and tomato.
  5. Cover the pan and continue cooking on low heat for 10 minutes to soften the vegetables.
  6. Add the chicken bouillon cube, water, dried basil, and freshly ground pepper.
  7. Increase heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, or until all vegetables are very tender.
  8. Using a slotted spoon, remove approximately 1 cup of the cooked vegetables and set aside in a small bowl.
  9. Carefully transfer the remaining soup mixture into a blender or food processor.
  10. Blend until completely smooth and pureed.
  11. Pour the pureed soup back into the saucepan.
  12. Stir in the reserved chunky vegetables.
  13. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  14. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
