SIMPLE ZUCCHINI & LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven or heavy-bottom saucepan heat the butter, crushed red pepper flakes and leeks over medium heat and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring often for about 1 minute longer. Add the wine and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the zucchini and a hefty pinch of salt and pepper. Cover the pan, and steam over medium-low heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until the zucchini is just tender. Transfer the mixture to a high speed blender with the dill and 2 cups of broth or water. Blend on high until very smooth. Return the soup to the pot and keep on low heat for about 10 minutes so all the flavors blend together. Taste test and adjust seasonings as needed. Divide the soup between bowls and garnish with zucchini blossoms, extra dill, and sea salt.
