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!
