Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 medium leek, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced and thoroughly rinsed 1 small clove garlic, minced Salt and freshly ground pepper 2 1/4 pounds yellow summer squash, trimmed and cut into half moons 2 cups low-sodium chicken or Homemade Chicken Broth 2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish 1/3 cup olive oil

Directions

Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the leek and half the garlic. Season well with salt and pepper; cook, stirring until soft and tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add squash, and cook, stirring, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove soup from heat; let cool slightly.

Fill the bowl of a food processor with basil and remaining garlic. Drizzle olive oil through the feed tube; process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer basil pistou to a small bowl.

Place slightly cooled soup in the cleaned bowl of the food processor, and process until soup is pureed but still slightly chunky.

Return to stockpot; cook to reduce liquid and thicken just slightly, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle into soup bowls, garnish with basil, and serve with basil pistou.
