Summer Squash Soup; the update
We have guests and are busy being tourists this week…. Something we haven’t done since moving here.
Where are the guests sleeping you ask?
In a tent, of course….
The update:
The ceiling was finished this week.
And I spent Sunday moving both of our ‘offices’ from one end of the hall to the other so he can start on the walls and tiles off the kitchen.
And build a frame around the opening we smashed through between the kitchen and the hall. We’ll start laying the tiles soon and the staircase we’ll come in September.
The sunflowers are starting to turn brown and the seeds are forming.
The fields are starting to turn brown…. Fall is coming.
In honor of the sunflowers… and summer I made some lovely Yellow Soup.
It’s a simple soup, few ingredients…. Serve hot or cold….
Summer Squash Soup
2 cups chopped yellow squash (courgette), about 1 – 7″ (17cm) longn
1 medium yellow onion
1 yellow tomato
1 cup (8oz, 240gr) chicken stock
handful of fresh basil, snipped
Chop onion, courgette and tomato. In medium saucepan heat chicken stock. Add onion, tomato and courgette. Cover and simmer until courgette is tender, about 15 minutes. Puree. Serve, either hot or cold, garnished with basil.
Summer is meant to be simple.
I just don’t know how you come up with delicious foods like this in the midst of a major renovation job Katie, but kudos to you!!
What Bellini said! And now guests on top of all the rest???
I have more summer squash than I know what to do with! Tho I did make an italian veggie soup this week and used up 3 of the buggers!
What Val and Zoomie said!!! You wonder woman you.
The preamble of your trip to the dentist made me laugh out loud while reminding me of my own youthful trauma and drama of going to the dentist. The killer was the clamp the size of Australia – somehow …Australia seemed small in comparison.
Thanks, Val… I have to have something else to think about ;-))
Zoomie, yeah…. makes you wonder, doesn’t it.
Cindy, 3???? in one soup? I need that recipe!
Christine, thank you… ;-))
Giz, Australia was smaller, you’re right.
