2 cloves garlic

2 zucchinis (cut into rounds)
2 yellow summer squach (cut into rounds)

1 summer squash (diced)

1 large sprig basil

black pepper

To serve:

dried bread slices
parmigiano-reggiano (grated)

Recipe

Fry the onions and garlic languidly at a low heat. Add only the large zucchini and squash (retain the dices) and fry for quite a bit. This is where all the flavor comes in. Do not skimp on this step.

Add the water, salt and pepper. and let it simmer for 10 mins or so.

Blend the soup with the basil, and pass it through a fine sieve.

Add the diced zucchini and squash to the mixture, and bring to a boil again until they are cooked.

Serve over the bread sprinkled with parmesan and black pepper.
