Here's an easy, incredibly flavorful soup that tastes best just barely warm. This recipe makes 4-6 servings and it takes about 45 minutes to make from start to finish.
Ingredients:
3 T olive oil
1 medium onion minced
3 cloves of garlic minced
4 medium potatoes, scrubbed and diced
1 pound of zucchini, diced
3 1/2 cups of vegetable stock, or water
Basil
Salt
Pepper
| Heat oil, add onion, and sauté for 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add potatoes, 1½ c liquid, salt, and pepper, bring to a boil, lower heat, cover, and simmer about 25 minutes, until potatoes are cooked. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, about 20 minutes, until zucchini is tender. Let the soup cool for at least an hour, then serve warm. This soup can be served hot or cold, or somewhere in the middle.

We love to hear from you! echocsa@gmail.com (319)325-3910 | |
| Notes | The original recipe calls for this soup to be served cold, but I find that it's not nearly as good chilled. It also loses flavor if you refrigerate and then reheat it, so try to serve it the same day you make it. |

Could you post the contents of the September 24th box? I can't identify the tangy greens in a plastic bag. Thanks!
