Ingredients
Amt.	Measure	Ingredient



3	medium	Carrots, raw
4	tablespoons	olive oil
2	stalks large (11"-12" long)	celery, coursely chopped
1	medium (2-1/2" dia)	Onion chopped
8	medium	zucchini (Yellow and Green)
16	cups	chicken broth or stock
1	package (10 oz)	Spinach
2/3	cups	cilantro, fresh, chopped
1 1/2	tablespoons	salt
1/4	tablespoon	pepper, to taste

Steps

Sequence	Step

1	heat olive oil in large pot. Add onions, carrots and celery to saute until onions are translucent
2	add zucchini to pot and continue to saute until zucchini begins to get translucent and shiny
3	add chicken broth and bring to boil. Once boiling, lower temp to simmer. Simmer soup for 15 minutes. Zucchini should be cooked to al dente
4	remove pot from heat. Add spinach and cilantro.
5	use hand-blender or other method to blend all ingredients into a think soup. If consistency is too watery, add more spinach to ''thicken''. Optionally, you can add cream or half and half to help thicken soup - or 1 package of cream cheese works nicely as well (though all of these add extra calories and don''t necessary improve the flavor much to warrant the additions).
6	Salt and pepper to taste.
