2005: Hummus and Zucchini Soup (Cookshelf Soups, pg. 180)

Fooled again and full credit would have been given if someone guessed chick peas.

1 tsp. olive oil
1 small onion
3 zucchini, (1 lb.), sliced
2 C vegetable or chicken broth
6 oz. hummus
fresh lemon juice to taste
salt and pepper
fresh parsley, garnish

Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and zucchini, cover and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the veggies are tender. Puree in a blender or processor. Return to saucepan or pot and add the hummus, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Reheat over a medium-low heat. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle parsley. Serves 3-4
