I went out to the garden yesterday; this is about the end of the Zucchini growing season at the center of the world. It must be that global warming thing going on. It being early September and feeling like late October. Read more . Regardless I have 3, 3 1/2lb Zucchini to work with. I could make Zucchini bread, But I already made 16 loves and people are not returning my calls now. I can't give it away and all the cars at all the local churches have their doors locked (darn) It has to be local or the anklet goes off. So I need to get a bit inventive, then again as I look over my ingredients perhaps not so inventive. I have done Zucchini casseroles about one a week, Zucchini lasagna and Zucchini parmesan, not to mention steamed, spaghetti, and making an appearance in a stew. I looked on the site and found a lot of interesting recipes. Unfortunately most are similar to what I have been making. There was a Zucchini and shrimp recipe that sounded interesting, and lanacountry put out a Zucchini Hamburger Pie recipe that I will be trying. I figured a nice soup would be in order so I washed one of the stock pots, we had given it to our granddaughter with a spoon, brings new meaning to a metal band, Zucchini, Potatoes, onion, cheese Oh why the name? Once you cook the Zucchini enough it is untraceable in the soup. Ingredients:
