Authors in Bloom Blog Hop

Spring is here! In my part of the world, I woke up to this morning, April 17, to three inches of SNOW! 
There’s no way I can work in my garden, yet. I can’t wait for Mother Nature to decide it’s going to be a warm Spring. Since it’s going to be several cold days ahead, I want to share a warm zucchini soup with you. This receipt is fast and easy to prepare, if you're a veggie lover, you'll love it. Oh, by the way - no calories. Afterward, don't forget to scroll down and enter my special giveaway as well as the BIG giveaway at http://diannevenetta.com/events/


Grandma Jackson Zucchini Soup    4 cups of Tomato Juice
4 cups of Water
3-4 Celery stalks
3 Zucchini
1 Green Pepper
1 Tsp of Italian Seasoning
Head of Cabbage
Onion
5 Beef Bullion
1 Garlic Glove
Slice all the vegetable to your liking (we like our vegetable sliced in chunks), add all ingredients to a large pot and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender the way you like them. By the way, we like the soup on the spicy side, so I use a little more Italian seasoning. And, if you really want to be brave, use a large can of V8 Juice instead of tomato juice.
