A HOSPITAL VISIT BRINGS FORTH A FAMILY FAVORITE RECIPE

Don't most yummy recipes usually include the amazing women in our lives?  This particular recipe has been a part of our family for 30-plus years now all because of a trip to the emergency room back in 1992.  Momma had a horrible migraine and it was just her and I.  We were living in Toledo, Ohio at the time and I had no other option but to go along to the ER.  We had no idea we would be there all day long but we were and when lunchtime came I was super hungry.  Momma gave me money and sent me to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I looked around and finally settle on what looked like vegetable soup.  As I started dipping it out I noticed a vegetable I hadn't ever had but I thought I'll try it and I am so glad I did.  It was amazing.  I actually went back for a second bowl.  This time I did something momma had taught me to do when trying to figure out a recipe.  I dissected the soup while eating it to see exactly what it had in it so I could make it at home.

It was called Zucchini Soup and it is probably my favorite soup of all time.

WHAT'S IN THE SOUP?

It actually doesn't take a super long time to prepare but there are quite a few ingredients.

9.  Lastly, add the desired seasoning.  We use garlic powder, garlic salt, pepper, a mixture of Italian seasoning, and seasoned salt and I also shockingly add a few packets of Splenda because we like it a little bit sweet.

Let cook on low to mid-medium heat for 30 minutes and then turn it down and let simmer for an hour.  Your house will smell amazing and your family will be so very happy!  ENJOY~
