Country Garden Soup
Cooking for two, Pg 27 by Joanna Lund
What a lovely dream, to sit in the midst of greenery and serve this as part of a light lunch! Whenever I’ve been traveling for days on end. I find myself recalling happy meals in my own country garden and longing for home.

1 cup chopped zucchini
1 cup chopped carrots
3/4 cup chopped celery

In a medium saucepan, combine chicken broth, zucchini, carrots, celery, and onion. Stir in dill weed and black pepper. Bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
