This from the Farm Journal America's Best Vegetable Recipes. I used to make a lot of this stuff from humongous zucchinis every year. I used it like a cream of soup and it works great.

FRESH TOMATO ZUCCHINI SOUP



Fresh Tomato Zucchini Soup image

At a point of abundance with tomatoes and zucchini from my garden I came up with this soup. A friend said it was like a soup you would get at one of those chic 5 star restaurants! Serve with crusty French bread and salad. This soup tastes wonderful after a little cooking or simmering a long time. Sometimes I add cooked rice to give a bit more substance.
