Zucchini, Arugula & White Bean Soup

Langkah-langkah

1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.  Add garlic, onion and zucchini, and saute for 5-6 minutes or until onions are translucent and zucchini is slightly browned.  Add chicken broth, white beans, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for at least 10 minutes.  Add arugula and continue cooking for another 3 minutes.  Then puree the soup either using an immersion blender, or if you use a blender, blend the soup in 2 batches (be careful with the heat!).  Return to saucepan and season with salt and pepper as needed.  Serve drizzled with extra olive oil, cream, and/or sprinkled with Parmesan.
