Zucchini Garden Chowder






A creamy & rich soup featuring the zucchini.
Probably my favorite soup from Simply in Season so far.
This recipe could easily feed 8 people.

Melt in soup pot two tbsp butter or margarine.

Add & saute until tender: two medium chopped zucchini, one medium chopped onion, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tsp dried basil (or 1 tbsp fresh).

Stir in: 1/3 cup flour, salt & pepper.

Gradually stir in three cups of water.

Add & bring to a boil: 3 vegetable bouillon cubes & 1 tsp lemon juice.

Reduce heat & cook two minutes stirring often.

Add & return to a boil: two cups chopped tomatoes, 1.5 cups evaporated milk, & two cups corn.

Reduce heat, cover, & simmer for five minutes.


Just before serving add two cups shredded cheddar. Garnish with Parmesan.

Favorite Song for today (led to in a more or less direct way by my favorite radio station):
