Zucchini Soup

It is dry as a dessert here. We haven't any significant rain in a couple of weeks and so today I watered. Watered plants, watered animals, watered mushrooms. I tried once again to dig the garlic, once again I gave up. Despite the lack of rain, the zucchini stills produces on. I came across a zucchini soup recipe in an old Southern Living cookbook. It is absolutely delicious! So if you have an abundance of zucchini give this a try.
