1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (if you?re not on AIP)
4 medium zucchini, about 2 pounds, chopped
4 cups high-quality chicken broth

Here is how you make Silky Gingered Zucchini Soup:

Heat coconut oil in a large soup pot on medium heat, 2 minutes. Add onions, then smash garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife or the bottom of a glass and add to pan. Stir often and cook until the onions and garlic are soft and golden, but not browned, about 7 minutes. Add salt, ginger, and black pepper; stir to combine.Toss the zucchini into the pot. Stir to coat the zucchini with fat, then cook ?til beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.Add the broth, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to simmer. Let the zucchini cook 45 to 60 minutes until it?s very soft.VERY carefully, pur?e the zucchini and broth in a blender or food processor, or with an immersion blender. If you?re using a blender, work in batches, filling the canister only halfway and holding a towel over the lid while you pur?e. Eat immediately, or store in a covered container in the fridge.Serving Size: Makes 5-1 1/2 c. servingsNumber of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MISSSVJS.
