Ingredients

3 tablespoons oil

salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions:

In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add celery, carrot, onion and zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Reduce heat to low; simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until slightly thickened.
