Zucchini Rescue
Don went off to play tennis today, and came home with 2 fairly large zucchinis from one of the tennis player’s gardens. I happen to have an, “Oh My God this is delicious” soup recipe using zucchini of any size. The ingredients sounded kind of weird to me originally, but I’ve made it many times, and really enjoy it.
So, for all of you with “all that zucchini”, here’s a good recipe to try:
Cream of Zucchini Soup
4 cups chicken stock (2 cans and a little water will do)
4 medium zucchini sliced ( I used 2 fairly large, they looked like they could be divided into 4 mediums)
2 carrots, sliced
1 chopped onion (Vidalia if you have it)
1 package cream cheese (8 ounces)
salt & pepper
Cook zucchini, carrots and onion in broth. Puree in blender with cream cheese.
It thickens a little as it cools. Freezes well if you have too much.
