I know I have been over souping, but this is another fast and good one.

1 cup chopped onions
3 T olive oil
1 1/2 lbs zucchini, cut into chunks
2 golden Yukon potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks
2 cloves minced garlic
1 quart chicken soup or vegetable stock
1 (10 oz) box chopped spinach, thawed and drained
salt
pepper

In a pot heat oil and add onions. Cook until tender. Add garlic, zucchini and potatoes. Cook over medium heat for about 5-8 minutes. Add soup. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, around 30 minutes. Add spinach, cook another 15 minutes. Season to taste.
Puree with immersion blender.

Sounds really good, and I'd love to try it, but can anyone suggest any additional seasonings besides just salt pepper and garlic to give it a more unique flavor?

I would go with whatever seasoning you like. I find a dash of nutmeg is great in spinach recipes. dill is also another great addition to soup.
