Sesame Zucchini Soup

I know, I know. It's been MONTHS since I've posted anything. That's because it's been MONTHS since I've made up any new recipes. Oddly enough, we've been refining and redefining our food choices at home. We still stick to the same foods, but I just haven't had much time to experiment successfully. We have a few new baking ideas that are on the brink of completion, but none that are postworthy.

What is postworthy, however, is one of the most amazing soups I've ever had! In this line of work, you always seem to receive some sort of vegetable from people in the fall...and almost always one zucchini.

We got a zucchini, alright. It was a lovely yellow zucchini - approximately one kg in weight! I thought I'd find some zucchini bread recipe to modify, when I came across this site. It looked fun, but I assumed we wouldn't really be able to use it. Much to my surprise, I found my new favorite site!

I'm going to try several recipes here in the next several weeks; I'll post my favorites. For today, the sesame zucchini soup is a "must eat"!!!!! Honestly, the recipe is extremely simple, took me maybe half an hour to complete, and feeds four. The rich, almost nutty aroma of the tahini and toasted sesame seeds give a nice body to the sweet zucchini. The pepper and chili powder (though I used flakes) gave a kick that was just right. Way to go, Clotilde! I'm your new biggest fan!
