lydamorehouseI'm not usually the sort try "healthy" recipies from magazines (if I'm going to use a magazine recipie it will be from the decidedly butter-and-Bourbon variety of "Southern Living.") Especially if they involve a food processor. BUT, I just happened to have all the ingredients for "Women's Health"'s Zucchini and Dill Soup on hand, and I thought, what the hey, it'll used up the CSA zucchini I have left.
One word: yum!
For lunch I had this and several slices of my not-so purple potato bread.
ZUCCHINI AND DILL SOUP
Grate a couple of zucchinis (I used what I had on hand, 3/4th a good sized zucchini). Cook a chopped onion in butter until softened, then add the zucchini and stir until softened (5 minutes or so). Add vegetable or chicken stock (I had some homemade chicken stock in the fridge. I put in just enough to cover the zucchini-onion mixture) and bring to a boil; simmer for about 5 minutes, then puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper (I recommend lots of pepper for a good kick) and lots of fresh, chopped dill (I used almost five, thick sprigs).
Last night's Gaylaxian's meeting was great. I met some new people, hung out with old friends, and mostly talked about home owning, movies, and how much the publishing industry sucks. Strangely, I was invited back for September, when they're going to read APOCALYPSE ARRAY.
But talking about the series again energized me to get to work on the prequel and I wrote almost a thousand words forward last night. Yipee. There's hope for this thing yet.
