Hi.
1 tblsp olive oil, 1clove crushed garlic
1 large or 2 medium leeks, , chopped well...not the green parts
2medium zucchini, chopped
2 tblsp fresh basil
2-3 cups fresh spinach, chopped

Heat oil, add garlic, leeks and zucchini, tsp salt and 1/tsp pepper, stirring often 3-4 minutes until leeks are soft. Add 1 cup chicken broth stirring until zucchini falls apart 8-10 minutes.
Transfer all to blender and add the basil to blend. Pour back into pot and add the other cup of chicken broth. Then you can add the spinach and also cooked chicken if you want and cook another few minutes until heated through.

I’m going to make this tomorrow without the chicken and maybe blend the spinach in the blender also. I had another soup for lunch I’m getting stitches out tomorrow for gum and tooth surgery I had on Tuesday so was looking for soft food. Had a root canal last week and an Apioectomy this Tuesday. I’ll let you know how it is and if it needs any tweaks.
