Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, thyme, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the zucchini, bring back to a simmer and cook until tender, about 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme and let cool at least 5 minutes. Stir the basil into the soup and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full).
• Reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper.
• Serve hot and garnish with a sprinkle of almonds, basil leaves and a drizzle of oil.

Steps:

• First remove the loose skin off the garlic. Then, cut the tops off of the garlic heads, brush them with oil, and wrap them on foil. Roast at 400 for 40 minutes.
• While the garlic roasts, saute the onions and zucchini.
• Once they are translucent, add the quinoa, dill, and water. When the water is warm enough, mix in the stock base. Cook until quinoa is cooked through.
• Take out off the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup. When the garlic is done, squeeze it from the bottom so the roasted garlic pops out the top. The roasted garlic along with the tofu,lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the soup and puree it again. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
• If you do not have an immersion blender you can carefully remove the soup and use a standing blender. However, please be careful as blending hot soup can create quite a mess.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the zucchini, garlic and Italian seasoning in oil and butter, until zucchini is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Melt the butter in a heavy 4-quart pot over medium heat. When it foams, add the sliced garlic and onions and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent. Don't let the garlic brown.
• 2. Add the zucchini to the onions and garlic and cook until it begins to soften, about 10 minutes.
• 3. Add the chicken broth and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer at a medium-low heat for 45 minutes.
• 4. Remove from heat and blend zucchini with an immersion blender until creamy. You can also transfer, in batches, mixture to a blender to puree. Let mixture cool a bit before blending in mixer and only fill blender 1/2 full per batch.
• 5. Add ginger, white pepper, and creole seasoning. Taste before adding salt, it may not need it. Ladle into a bowl and serve with garlic bread.
