zucchini soup.

last night i made this soup.  it was delicious.  clean-tasting and filling and warm and yummy.  emme liked it.  hollis refuses to be fed by a spoon, so he focused on the butternut squash instead.

ingredients:
- coconut oil
- chopped small onion
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- salt, pepper, ground ginger (or fresh)
- 4-5 zucchini
- chicken broth (4 cups)

sautee onion and garlic in coconut oil until lightly browned/translucent. add salt, pepper, and ginger to taste.  toss in zucchini then pour chicken broth in.  bring to a boil.  cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until zucchini are very soft.  this took me about 20 minutes or so, but may take longer.  cutting the zucchini smaller helps it go faster.  when everything is soft, whip out your immersion blender and blend everything until smooth.  serve hot, topped with some chives or scallions or a dash of sesame oil.  next time, i'll add a little more salt and a little more ginger.
