We are sharing Summer Soups today over at Soup Saturday Swappers.........



My friend Cam, of Culinary Adventures with Camilla, is hosting this month and asked us to share a Summer Soup recipe saying:

Create a soup for summertime. It can be a chilled soup such as a gazpacho; it can be a soup that features summer produce; the limit is only your creativity. Have fun!

Soup Saturday Swappers is a fun group that gets together on the third Thursday of each month to share soup/stew recipes based on a theme chosen by one of the members.  We love meeting new bloggers and would be happy to have you join in the fun.  Interested?  Just let me know in the comment section below.

If you're anything like me you spend a lot of hours during the summer looking for ways to use up all the zuchinni and summer squash that seem to take over your garden or your neighbor's garden.  

I am happy to share this recipe that I found in Food & Wine.  This soup was created by Grant Achatz, a Michelin Star holder whose roots are here in Michigan.  Right in the same area in which we live and his family still resides.

The original recipe only used zucchini but I had some summer squash to use up as well so included it in my recipe.  Other than that the only adaptations are to technique.
