Tomato And Zucchini Summer Soup

Tomato and Zucchini Summer Soup is a great dish for the hot weather. It can be served warm or cold and it is also great for vegans and vegetarians.

What Makes This Recipe Special

I love easy summer recipes that do not require a lot of time in the kitchen. This soup is what I wanted for a while now.

The weather is crazy hot and humid these days in Minneapolis, so there is not much desire to be right next to a hot stove or oven.

The tomato and zucchini soup is a delicious vegetable soup that can be served cold from the fridge or just warmed up a little bit.

Very refreshing and cooling, this soup would be a great lunch or a light dinner.

Saturday we visited the Farmers Market and got a bunch of zucchini, peppers and other fresh vegetables.

The growing season in Minnesota is very short and starts pretty late in the summer, so there are still not a lot of vegetables available at the market.

Zucchini, new potatoes, kohlrabi, lettuce and fresh herbs are basically the main vegetables we have in season so far.

I am looking forward for August, to get eggplants, tomatoes and peppers and hopefully start canning few things for the winter.

I could buy anything from the store but I love to take advantage of the Farmers Market in the summer and stock up on few fruits and vegetables I can preserve for the winter.

Nothing tastes better in the winter than a soup made with veggies touched by the summer sun.

So, let's make the soup and enjoy it! I already had a bowl as soon as I was done making it!
