TOMATO ZUCCHINI BISQUE
This was a quick bisque I whipped up. Just an idea if you are tying to use veggies from your garden. It was delicious.I added some hot banana peppers and jalapeno peppers to ours, but most people don't like that much kick. That was just to make it spicy. You can try that if you like. The whipping cream is not neccessary, leave it out and it will still be delicious. You also may incorporate about a cup of grated parmesan with your immersion blender after you take it off the heat. I couldn't decide if I liked it better on top or incorporated. It was good both ways. Serve with hot, crusty bread. (See my 10 minute bread. It is quick and delicious.)
