1
tablespoon butter
leeks (white part only), chopped
1/2 pound zucchini, peeled and diced
cups chicken stock
bunch of watercress, tough stems removed
/3 cup heavy cream (it says optional, but I don't see why you couldn't
substitute milk for a lower fat version)
salt and freshly ground pepper
In a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add
the leeks and cook until softened but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the zucchini, increase the heat to moderately hight and saute for 2
minutes without browning. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the
heat to moverate and simmer until the zucchini is just tender, about 5
minutes. Add the watercress and simmer for 1 minutes longer.
Using a food processor or blender, puree the soup, in batches, until smooth.
Add the cream, if desired and season with salt and pepper to taste.
