Summer Soup… Yummy!

I love summer time with all the fresh veggies and farmers markets. I am super lucky that there is a local farmers market, Cannon Beach Farmers Market. I do a CSA (community supported agriculture) box with Kingfisher Farms and get an abundance of local, organic goodies. This is a soup made from those treasures…

Delicious Summer Soup (serve hot or cold)

• 2-3 large tomatoes
• 1 red pepper
• 1 zucchini
• 1/4 cup raw sesame seeds (could substitute with cashews, hemp seed, sunflower seed, etc.)
• 2-3 cups of water (more or less depending on how creamy you like it)
• salt to taste (I actually used liquid aminos because I prefer the taste)
• chipotle (just a dash… more if you like it spicy)
• 3-4 cups chopped greens: kale, chard, arugala (whatever yummy greens you have on hand)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion or chives

Blend the tomatoes, red pepper, zucchini, sesame seeds and water in blender until smooth and creamy. Then add salt and chipotle to taste. You can heat this up if you would like or just super chop the greens and onion, add to the soup and serve… Enjoy!!!
