1/4 c Olive oil
2 lb Carrots; chopped med. small
2 lg Onions; chopped medium small
Water (as needed)
1/4 c Olive oil
1 1/2 lb Zucchini; peeled
- (reserve the skins),
- and chopped medium small
1 lg Leek; well washed and
- chopped medium small
In a large skillet place the first 1/4 cup of the olive oil and heat it on
medium high until it is hot. Add the carrots and onions, and sautB them
for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onions are clear. Add enough water to
cover the vegetables. Simmer them for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the
liquid is absorbed. Place the vegetables in a blender and purBe them until
they are smooth. Set the purBe aside and let it cool.
In another large skillet place the second 1/4 cup of olive oil and heat it
on medium high until it is hot. Add the peeled zucchini and leeks, and
sautB them for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are just tender. Add enough
water to cover the vegetables. Simmer them for 25 to 30 minutes, or until
the liquid is absorbed. Place the vegetables in a blender and purBe them
until they are smooth. Set the purBe aside and let it cool.
Place the zucchini skins in a pot of boiling water and blanch them for 3
minutes. Drain the skins and place them in a blender. Add a small amount
of cold water and purBe the skins so that a thick, smooth consistency is
achieved (the same consistency as the other 2 purBes). Set the purBe aside
and let it cool.
Refrigerate the 3 soups until they are cold.
In each of 8 individual serving bowls place a portion of the 3 soups. Swirl
them together with a knife to form a design.
