Zucchini soup
Matthew was excited to pick zucchinis from the garden. We chopped up some onion and garlic and sautéed them in butter. We added the zucchini, which was sliced in rounds with their skins on. When it had been cooking for a while and the zucchinis had softened, we added about half a cup of cream. […]
