Ingredients: 4 cups of sliced summer squash. 1 onion, chopped. 2 cloves of garlic, minced. 4 cups vegetable broth. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh basil leaves for garnish. For Herb Seeded Crispbread:. 4 slices of whole grain bread. 2 tablespoons butter, melted. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1 teaspoon sesame seeds. 1 teaspoon poppy seeds. 1 teaspoon flax seeds. 1 teaspoon chia seeds. 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Instructions: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and saut until softened. Add the sliced summer squash and continue to saut for another 5 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the squash is tender. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth. Be careful as the soup will be hot. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through. For the Herb Seeded Crispbread: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, dried oregano, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, and salt. Brush the mixture onto each slice of whole grain bread, ensuring the seeds and herbs stick to the bread. Place the coated bread slices on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden. Serve the Summer Squash Soup hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves, and accompanied by Herb Seeded Crispbread for dipping.
