Zucchini Soup

I got this from a ward cooking club night. Even though you may think of zucchini and soup and go huh?, it is so delicious. Even my picky 18 month old will eat it!

1 cup chopped onions (I use 1/4 cup dried)
2 tbsp butter
3 (or more) cups sliced zucchini
2 cups (and a bit) chicken broth
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 tsp pepper
1/2 cup half and half

Toppings:
Grated Cheddar Cheese
Sour Cream
Cooked crisp, crumbled bacon, or bacon bits

In a large saucepan cook onions in melted butter until tender. Add slided zucchini and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender (about 15 minutes). Add salt and pepper. Cool slightly. Pour mixture into blender and puree it. Return to saucepan and add half and half. Reheat, but do not boil. Garnish with grated cheese, sour cream and bacon bits. This makes 4-6 servings.
