Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, chopped
5 cups chicken broth
2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
8 cups chopped zucchini
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, approximately 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, add diced potatoes, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Introduce sliced carrots and continue to simmer for roughly 10 minutes. Incorporate the summer squash and simmer until all vegetables are tender, around 15 minutes.
Carefully combine soup, fresh basil, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor, filling it no more than halfway. Secure the lid tightly and pulse a few times before blending continuously. Purée the soup in batches until you achieve your preferred consistency.
