Take-out Tuesday, Garden Soup
I can’t wait until I can make this soup with vegetables from our garden! This is such an easy soup to make and is a wonderful summer meal~
Things are starting to grow!
This is our first attempt at a raised garden and we got a late start, but it won’t be long now! I hope!
Roasted sweet red peppers, vegetable stock, sliced zucchini, garlic, cream and olive oil
Drain and slice the peppers
Saute garlic in olive oil for 2 minutes and then add zucchini and peppers
Cook and stir
about 10 minutes
Add broth, cream and seasonings and bring to a boil.
Simmer for 15 minutes
Grab your handy dandy stick blender…what? You don’t have one? You NEED this. Really.
Puree until smooth. I love this part, it’s so much fun. You feel like you’re Master of the Universe. Seriously.
Garnish with lots of fresh Parm and basil
Soup’s On!

Yum. You really can’t go wrong with cream!
What a great recipe so fresh and creamy. I had a stick blender for a few years and only used it for chopping. Then I finally used it on my puree’s and soups, I could have kicked myself for not doing it earlier, some times I wonder about myself!
Thank you for sharing your recipe on BBQ Block Party
This looks so good Jenna! I love my immersion blender, it saves so much clean up and prevents disastrous blender explosions with hot soup!
Ha! I recently acquired a stick blender and now I’m telling everyone I know that they need one! And they really do! I could just kick myself for not haven gotten it sooner. Your soup looks delicious! I’m adding this one to my “must make” list.
Thanks Maria, I agree, it is soooooo handy, thanks so much! Jenna
