Soup kills the chills
When you see how well soup and
toast satisfy in chilly weather, it’s
a good reason to plan more meals
like that. You may, of course, have
other reasons, such as economy
and the warmth of a simmering
soup, or its appetizing aroma. . .
but those just make soup and bread
the stars of the menu.
If you’re having friends or
relatives over for lunch, consider
serving soup instead of a large,
tedious meat dish. Soup adds
nutrition and good taste all in one
bowl and adds color to your table.
With the soup, serve Italian
Cheese Toast which are open-faced
Italian bread slices drenched with
Monterey Jack and Parmesan
cheese, capped with anchovies or
olives. The recipe is included
below.
Complete this homespun menu
with a jug of chilled milk, some
fruit and cookies and take a bow!
ZUCCHINI SOUP
2 qt. sliced zucchini, not peeled
2 c. chopped celery
2 T. butter

just golden. Add bouillon dissolved
in hot water. Add zucchini and
celery and cook until tender. Cool.
Put in blender until blended.
Season with salt and pepper.
Reheat and serve, or freeze for
future use.
