At a point of abundance with tomatoes and zucchini from my garden I came up with this tomato zucchini soup. A friend said it was like a soup you would get at a chic 5-star restaurant! Serve with crusty French bread and salad. This soup tastes wonderful after a little cooking or simmering a long time. Sometimes I add cooked rice to give a bit more substance.
