Zucchini Soup

So, our computer is broken again. Yes, conveniently about 1 month after the warranty ran out it decided it was tired of completely booting up so instead it just gets stuck on this pretty blue screen. Thus the lack of posting even though our camera is full of fun pictures and we even took a little family trip all the way to Salt Lake City. So, hopefully soon we'll get it fixed so I can post pictures again as I'm not very good at posting my deep thoughts or maybe I'm just not good at having deep thoughts.

I do want to post my most very favorite soup recipe. This pretty much is the only soup I make other than the occasional chicken noodle cause when I feel like soup, this one hits the spot so well. I've even heard it is worthy of marriage, so anyways, with out further delay, here it is-

Zucchini Soup

Sautee until tender:

-2 medium zucchini chopped (I use 1 green & 1 yellow zucchini)

-1 medium onion

-2 Tblsp. Parsley

-1 tsp. dried basil

-1/3 cup butter

Stir in:

-1/3 cup flour

-1 tsp. salt

-¼ tsp. pepper

Stir in:

-3 cups water

-3 chicken bouillon cubes

-1 tsp. lemon juice

Bring to boil 2 minutes

Add:

-1 can tomatoes

-1 can evaporated milk

-1 pkg. corn or 1 can drained

Reduce heat. Simmer 5 minutes

Just before serving, Add:

-¼ sup parmesan cheese

-2 cups shredded cheddar


Also, here's a link to the story of Matthew's cousin that went to the hospital to deliver her baby but found out after she delivered one that she was having twins. Anyways, it is a fun. crazy read.

Yeah, if this is the soup I am thinking it is, this is GOOD stuff :)
And that is a good story. What a rush to come home with TWINS! Heavens, preparing for one baby is crazy enough! :)

It's a good thing Matthew got to you first, or John would have married you for this soup alone. Thanks for the recipe!

I can't believe that story! I was shocked about her delivering a baby onto the bed...but finding out there are TWO babies? Wouldn't you be like, "Okay...I'm dreaming, right? Gotta be dreaming."
Crazy!

Thanks for the nice dinner. It is delicious soup and I do need your bread recipe, if you are willing to share. We had a fun time at the pumpkin walk. Thanks for planning such a fun night. Happy Halloween!

Wow, the recipe looks great, so great that we want to make it here in Thailand. However, we need a little help as we cant get some of the ingredients so if you could send over everthing but the water I think we would be good to go.
by the way, sorry to hear about the computer, ours went down with a virus last year.
