Using a wide pan gently saute 1 onion in some oil and butter until soft and translucent.
Add
crushed garlic
sliced fresh chilli (optional)
6 sliced zucchini (use small ones)
1 diced kumara
Turn up the heat and saute until the zucchini picks up a bit of colour.
Add
3cups of chicken or vegetable stock
1 teaspoon of honey
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in 1 packed cup of fresh basil and bring back to boil. Remove from the heat and whizz till it’s how you like it. Taste for seasoning.
