Uncle John has recently started to deliver to me fresh zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, green beans, plum tomatoes and there's more variety on its way... I was thinking some of you must be reaping the rewards of your gardens (or buying locally available fresh produce) too.  Let's share recipes for these veggies, to help us to have more options in preparing them, shall we?

Uncle John's Zucchini Vegetable Soup


(this soup is really yummy - best to double it as it doesn't make much)


1/4 c. diced onion
2 packets instant chicken broth mix*
2 c. water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 & 1/2 c. thinly sliced zucchini (can use more to make thicker soup)
1/2 c. each: thinly sliced carrots & chopped seeded tomato (or 1/2 c. tomato sauce)
1 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp. basil leaves
1/8 tsp. pepper

----------------------------------


In 1 & 1/2 Qt. saucepan sauté onion until transparent.
