1.
In a large pot, sauté the onion, leek and garlic in a tablespoon of
extra virgin olive oil until soft. Add the zucchini, carrot and potatoes and cook everything together for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2.
Add the water or vegetable broth, turn up the heat, and cook for about 15 minutes.
3.
Before blending, remove a cup of liquid to make sure the soup isn’t too runny. Add it back as necessary while blending until you get the desired texture.
4.
Sauté some mushrooms with a pinch of coarse salt to garnish the soup, along with some crushed cashews and a leaf of basil.
