FRESH TOMATO ZUCCHINI SOUP
At a point of abundance with tomatoes and zucchini from my garden I came up with this soup. A friend said it was like a soup you would get at one of those chic 5 star restaurants! Serve with crusty French bread and salad. This soup tastes wonderful after a little cooking or simmering a long time. Sometimes I add cooked rice to give a bit more substance.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Look for ripe, juicy tomatoes with deep red color.

- Don't overcrowd the pot: When sautéing the vegetables, avoid overcrowding the pot. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming instead of browning.

- Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Zucchini and tomato soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer or a main course. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
