Zucchini, the queen of the summer and autumn. It’s on every polish plate. Successfully year by year wins with my beloved aubergine and dominates barbecues and dinners. Served as an lecho, en mass, or fried as chops. Sometimes served stuffed or even raw. In my grandma’s garden, zucchini throw its weighs around this year.
We gave zucchini to our neighbours, friends and family and still we had plenty for ourselves. We put it jars as marinated one, we fired, baked etc. To be honest I started to be overwhelmed by it and a bit bored. But just when I decided to give up zucchini this year I came up with idea of zucchini soups. I started with green one. Colorful and delicious. This time I have another zucchini soup for you accompanied by roasted tomatoes. Taste is mostly delicate, but you can fill strong aroma thanks to roasted tomatoes. Just wonderful and easy to prepare!
