4 Red Peppers roasted
6 cups vegetable broth (I used Knorr's vegetable bouillon cubes)
1 large zucchini
4 garlic cloves  minced
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 and 1/2 T olive oil
1 T butter
feta cheese
pinch of kosher salt
dash of black pepper

Turn oven on to 400 degrees. Cut peppers into quarters and remove seeds. Place on cookie sheet and coat peppers with approximately 1/2 T of olive oil. Roast for 15-20 minutes until soft. Pour 3 cups of broth into blender and add roasted peppers. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
 
Cut zucchini into thin slices and sauté in 1 T of olive oil and 1 T of butter with minced garlic and pine nuts until soft and aromatic. Add soup mixture from blender and the rest of broth. Heat until warm.
 
Divide into 4 bowls and add feta cheese.
