Zucchini, Potato and Parmesan Soup
Created by Art Smith
Oprah loves soup, and this is a great, hearty summer soup. As you know, zucchini grows like crazy—this is the perfect soup to use it all up!
Servings: Serves 8–10
Ingredients
Directions
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and garlic, and cover. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the zucchini and potato. Add enough broth to barely cover the vegetables. Add the thyme and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, partially covered, until the potato is tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the evaporated milk and cheese. Heat until very hot, but do not boil, or the soup will curdle. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle into soup bowls, and sprinkle each serving with thyme. Pass extra Parmesan cheese on the side. Serve hot.
