Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, chopped

1 medium onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 medium potato, peeled and diced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

A sprinkle of chili flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

    Add the Vegetables: Stir in the chopped zucchinis and diced potato. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchinis start to soften.

      Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

        Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. You can also transfer it in batches to a countertop blender, but be careful with the hot liquid.

          Add the Basil: Stir in the fresh basil leaves and blend again until fully incorporated. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. If you like a bit of heat, add a sprinkle of chili flakes as well.

            Serve or Store: For lunchboxes, let the soup cool completely before portioning it into airtight containers. This soup can be enjoyed warm or chilled!
