Spicy Zucchini Soup

Olive oil and butter. I like to use a combination of both for the olive oil and butter flavor. You can use one or the other if you'd like, though.

Yellow or white onion. Either will do! We just need some aromatics in this soup to make it super delish.

Jalapeno. For that spice! A serrano would work fine, too.

Zucchini. You'll need about 5 small zucchini, from the market or garden!

Garlic. Use a little or a lot, it's up to you.

Celery salt. I'd consider this ingredient optional, but it does provide a rich depth of flavor to the soup.

Stock. I like to use unsalted veggie stock, but if you have chicken on hand, that works too.

Lemon. Acidic ingredients like citrus bring a bright and fresh flavor to soups (and pretty much any recipe).

The acid also sort of mimics salt, so you can cut back a bit on how much salt you use if you add an acidic ingredient.

Cream. Half and half or heavy cream works well here.

Before cooking, chop all of the spicy zucchini soup ingredients and prepare your mise en place. This just means "everything in it's place".
