Favorite Summer Soup

What a beautiful rainy morning it is! I love baking when it is rainy and a little cool outside. It also makes me think of soup. Since I have a fridge full of zucchini I am going to make my favorite summer soup for dinner tonight and thought I would share the recipe with you here:

Ingredients:

• 2 leeks or 1 large onion chopped
• 3 carrots diced
• 4 zucchini halved and slices
• 5 potatoes diced
• 1 pint half and half
• 4 pints of your favorite broth
• 4 tablespoons butter
• sprig of thyme
• salt and pepper to taste

Sauté carrots and leeks in a large pot covered for half hour, stir only a few times. Add broth, potatoes and thyme and cook until the potatoes are soft. Then add zucchini and cook for another 10 min. Remove thyme sprig, add half and half and puree right in the pot with an emersion blender. 
Serve with a  slice of buttered toast. Enjoy!!!

PS For those of you not on my e-mail list, we signed a lease on a new place last week and are moving August 1st. This won’t affect the bread-shares, I will just have to miss that Saturday market.
