Courgette,basil & tomato soup (Sopa cremosa de zapallitos y tomates)

I've said it before when I post soups:

I love soups, especially vegetables soups. This courgette and tomato soup was delicious. and it usually reaches me for two days.

I eat soups almost all year round.

For two days I keep in a tupper on fridge but it can also be frozen.

To this recipe I added basil cause I love it.
