Zuchinni Onion Soup

I love this recipe for zucchini soup! It usually has little ditalini pastas in it, but since I can't have pasta, so I added ground chicken, and the base is still wonderful tasting. Since it's beginning to become fall, squash is really in season right now and the zucchinis I bought at the store looked amazing and ripe and plump!

What you need:

4-5 large zucchini squash, quartered
4-5 med sweet onions, chopped in large pieces
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
4 tblsp olive oil
1 tbsp tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound Ground chicken, cooked

Place garlic and olive oil in a large skillet and saute for about a minute on med heat. Place the tomato paste on the skillet then Place the onions in the skillet and saute until translucent and soft, stirring occasionally and trying to break up the onion layers: about 20 minutes.

When the onions are soft, use your food processor or blender to liquify the onions. It should be a thick onion base with not chunks. Put the onion base into a large soup pot.

One zucchini at a time, pulverize them in the food processor. It shouldn't become a paste, but it should be small chunks. Place the zucchini in the soup pot. Add the cooked ground chicken.

Stir everything together and add salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a boil and then drop the heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
