Method of preparing the Creamy Zucchini Soup with Mixed Herbs:
  1. Heat some oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and 2 tbsp minced garlic; then sauté 5 minutes or until tender. 
  2. Add zucchini, broth, salt, and pepper, and then bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until zucchini is very tender. Let stand 5 minutes.
  3. Place the zucchini mixture in a blender, cover tightly, and process until smooth. If there's too much, work in batches.

  5. Place bread slices in a single layer onto a baking sheet. Coat bread with olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes or until toasted. 
  6. Mix remaining 1 tbsp minced garlic, parsley, tarragon, chives, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Rub bread with the mixture.
  7. Serve the soup topped with the bread.
