Method:

1. Melt the butter and sauté the onion in it until golden. Add the zucchini and sauté over medium-high heat until limp (10 to 15 minutes).

2. Add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for 15 minutes, add the half-and-half, and let the mixture cool.

3. Puree the broth mixture in a blender. (Do this in batches, if necessary.) Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, to allow the flavors to blend. Serve hot or cold.
