Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium leek, light part only, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 medium russet potato, peeled and diced (1 1/2 cups)
3 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 cups baby spinach leaves (2 1/2 oz)
1 cup fresh basil leaves
6 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • Cut 12 thin slices from 1 zucchini. Chop remaining zucchini (about 4 cups). In large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add leek; cook about 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add chopped zucchini and potato; cook 1 minute. Stir in vegetable broth and pepper. Heat to simmering; cook 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through. Stir in spinach leaves, and cook until just starting to wilt.
  • Meanwhile, place zucchini slices on cookie sheet. Bake about 10 minutes or until starting to turn golden brown on top. Set aside until serving.
  • Remove soup from heat. Stir in basil. Carefully place in blender. Cover; blend until pureed. Divide among 6 bowls; place a few slices zucchini on top of each. Top each with a tablespoon of yogurt.
