Zucchini Soup

WAY back in 2002 we had a tasting party at church. 

If I had more time, I'd explain the tasting party -- but to put it in simple terms; do you know the free samples given at Sam's or Costco on a Saturday? 

Well, it was like that --- but with about 500 women -- all tasting fantastic homemade food on a Thursday evening!  Then, after a wonderful program we were given a cookbook of all the delicious recipes!

Need I say more?

One of the recipes that night, way back when, was from Robyn.  This soup, if I remember correctly, was one that her grandmother used to make!

While I haven't made it this year, just yet, I do think I have a real craving for it!
Which leads me to think that you just might have the same craving!

It's delicious!

Zucchini Soup

6 chicken bouillon cubes
5 zucchini, sliced
1 onion, chopped
3 cups water
2 carrots, grated
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened and cubed

In a large sauce pan, place the bouillon cubes, zucchini, onion, and carrots.  Bring to a boil and cook about 5 minutes or until veggies are tender.  Stir in the softened and cubed cream cheese.  Stir until cheese is melted.

Using an immersion blender, puree veggies to desired consistency. 

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot or cold.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
