Luciano's Zucchini Soup

Serves 2-4, but can be doubled

Wash 2 medium zucchini; carefully scoop out ALL the seeds with a spoon. Cube the zucchini.
(Note: if you use an equivalent of small zucchini, the seeds are hardly formed and can remain.) Chop 1/2 small onion. Put both the zucchini and onion in an iron skillet on medium heat with 1 Tbs. extra-
virgin olive oil. Stir, coating the vegetables with oil. Add 1/4 c water. Cover. Cook until tender, about
5 minutes.

Blend the vegetables until smooth in a blender. (Patti's note: Or use your hand blender and puree right in the pot!)

Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
