Quick Creamy Zucchini Soup

Ingredients

• 4 cups shredded zucchini
• 3/4 cup water
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon basil
• 2 cups warm milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons minced onion
• Ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Stir zucchini, water, salt, and basil together in a pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until zucchini is tender, about 15 minutes.

Pour zucchini mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until smooth. Puree in batches.

Whisk warm milk, flour, and salt together in a bowl until smooth.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in melted butter until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour pureed zucchini and milk mixture into the skillet; bring to a boil while stirring continually. Season with pepper.
