Zucchini Soup

This soup is amazing! It's so simple and everyone in the house loves it. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture, but trust me on how great it is.

2 T unsalted butter
1 T olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 3/4 lbs zucchini, sliced
4 c chicken or vegetable stock
2 T chopped fresh oregano, or 1/2 t dried oregano
1/2 t salt
1/4 t ground pepper

Saute the onions in butter and olive oil until translucent and soft. Add the zucchini and saute for a few more minutes. Add the broth and oregano. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the zucchini is soft. Puree the soup with a hand blender or in a blender until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.

We all love this soup that we were first introduced to by my sister when we were visiting in December. I had a bunch of zucchini sitting around that needed to be used tonight and this was the first thing that popped into my mind. The kids loved this as much now as they did the first time they had it.
