Love Soup

I am pretty sure that I already mentioned this, but I love soup. Love it. And, my husband and kids love it. It is a total win-win situation for us so when I heard about this new soup book called Love Soup I knew I had to check it out. It is full of vegetarian soups, many of which can be made vegan for those who swing that way. I just got it from the library the other day and have tabbed countless soups I want to try and we even tried one. It was delicious. A friend gave us some zucchini from her garden (I love that I live in Portland and there are still fruits and vegetables coming on!) so we made the Zucchini Potato Soup (I didn't have time or ingredients to make a vegetable broth so I just used chicken broth I had on hand). It was yummy. I think it would make for a better late summer soup when the evenings are cool but comfortable than a warm-me-up fall soup. No bother. We still ate it and loved it. It was a brothy soup with zucchini, potatoes, basil, and parsley. Light, not over powering. Yum. I love this book so much that I have already added it to our Christmas list. I heard about it from Angry Chicken's blog, a great blog for all people who love food and crafting, especially if you live in Portland (she goes to great local shops). So, go now, find the book and check it out! (FYI I was not paid to rave about this book, it is just pure love).
