Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soup Base

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped fennel and yellow squash to the pot. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of it.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with cooked Oregon Bay shrimp, a sprinkle of toasted almonds, and a drizzle of fresh basil oil.
