Spicy Zucchini Soup/Chili created by CARML mama

A zippy twist on a basic zucchini soup recipe. Easy to make in a crock pot or stovetop and delicious taste! Adjust the amount of jalapeno you add to your desired heat, we like it nice and spicy.

Loved this soup! Used the hot Italian sausage and a bit more tomato paste as I like a richer tomato sauce. The zucchini and black beans really added a nice touch. Will definitely make again -- thanks for the post! Made for Spring PAC, 2012.
