Zucchini

It’s early fall, that wonderful time of year when summer produce is still scrumptious and autumn goodies are just coming into season. Therefore, it’s a perfect time to try this hearty Italian Zucchini Soup with Cannellini Beans, Potato, & Ditalini, all infused with fresh tomato & basil. You get the best of both worlds, fresh, flavorful zucchini and tomatoes, and the warming comfort of a nice bowl of soup as the weather cools down.

It’s that wonderful time of year when all sorts of glorious vegetables are in season and at their peak. One such vegetable is that workhorse – zucchini. I feel like I could eat it almost every day and never tire of it. It’s so versatile, reasonable, and simple to prepare. Even though it’s available year-round, during summer it has much more flavor. Do you need a new way to prepare it? If so, try this classic dish from the Campania region called Zucchine alla Scapece.
