The final zucchinis of the summer got used in this total comfort soup. I followed this recipe exactly, and it was perfect the way it is written. I chose to use 1/2 of the bacon in processing the zucchini and other ingredients, and saved the rest for a garnish on top of the soup when finished cooking. Quick and easy, this is a delight of wondrous summer vegetables and great taste. This will be made time and time again. Thanks, 1hotpotato! Made for *PAC 07*

Newly updated: Now, just my wife works and I am the stay-at-home-dad. So I have taken on the wonderful job for cooking for our on the go family. I am loving it. We live in far NE Colorado. We enjoy camping, gardening, and raising a few animals for the freezer (pigs). I really don't have a favorite cookbook. but if I did, it would consist of easy, quick and kid friend reicpes, like what I find here. My passion is horticulture (thus, my garden).
