The lime added a little kick. The picture doesn't show it with the cilantro- but I'd recommend it. We made it with green chili instead of a jalepeno. We also used 1/2 the potato. |

Zucchini and potato soup with cilantro
I found this recipe in an old magazine and it is online. It is a good end of summer soup. We'll make it in my seasonal cooking class.
