Directions:
- Wash, trim and slice the zuchinni and put into an ample soup pot with 31/2 cups water, a tsp of salt and the rice. Bring the water to the boil, then lower heat and let it simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tblsps olive oil in a pan and add the chopped onions with a pinch of salt. Cook the onions slowly over medium - low heat, stirring often, until they are soft and caramel colour. About 30 minutes. When the onions are tender and sweet, add them to the soup pot.
- Grind plenty of black pepper into the soup, add the vegetable broth and the fresh basil leaves and simmer another 2 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Puree the soup, add a little more stock if the soup seems to thick. It should pour easily.
- Return soup to a clean pot and bring back to a simmer, then stir in 2 tblsps of lemon juice and 2 more tblsps olive oil. Taste the soup and add pinches of salt and lemon juice until the balance is just right.
- To serve, pour into a bowl, top with a spoonful of creamy feta or lemon zest. Enjoy.
