Creamed midsummer zucchini squash soup recipe

Use this creamed midsummer zucchini squash soup recipe to make full use of that glut of giants that you may despair of enjoying; it's astonishingly tasty for a rather dull vegetable.

Most serious vegetable gardeners will grow zucchinis, also known as summer squash every year. Eventually they get ahead of you and produce massive fruit of proven nutrient value but they get a little dull; enter this soup recipe.

You can enjoy it hot or cold but we love it well-chilled on a hot summer's day.

Other spices

Zucchini isn't known for its amazing flavour. So you could well use other favourite herbs and spices. Today we've added a sprig of thyme, a bay leaf and a few plannings of fresh ginger; and half a peppadew. This really is a surprisingly tasty soup.

Zucchini squash

Adult-onset macular degeneration is the chief cause of blindness in the elderly, mainly the result of a deficiency of two nutrients; lutein and zeaxanthin.

Adult onset blindness occurs chiefly in three groups of people; smokers, those who abhor their greens and poorly-controlled diabetics. Poor health is additive; those addicted to refined carbs, cigarettes and hate veggies are sunk.

The L-dopa in broad beans does ameliorate the disease but they are hard to find and when old most folk hate them. I do too so we grow them; you could easily add a young pod or two to your creamed midsummer zucchini soup recipe. That would give real protection against AMD.

Stock

Bought cubes of stock are only for those who are lazy and don't care about their health; they are loaded with noxious chemicals to stop them from going off. Making your own is so easy and takes little time.

Whenever you buy a chicken, freeze the bones, carcass and skin. Then once a month make your own stock.

In similar vein keep your bits and bobs left over from chopping your vegetables; potato peels, carrot tops and stalks of kale, for example.

We pay a terrible price for our idleness and excuses about time; the research is unequivocal about the chemicals added to our food.

Don't peel your veggies

Only 5% of those eating typical grocery store food are getting the recommended daily allowance of fiber from their meals; it comes as no surprise whatsoever that malignant colorectal tumours are soaring, especially in younger people.

Many of the important nutrients too are located in and just under the skin. One of the joys of new potatoes is that you don't need to peel them. Rich in fiber they do not have a high GI; they are not fattening like those from cold storage.

Do scrub your zucchini and potato thoroughly but don't peel them.

Retrogradation

For those sick and tired of being on this or that diet, learn about retrogradation of carbs; chilling them overnight causes a change in the molecular configuration that dampens the action of the enzymes that produce glucose.

It turns them into resistant starch; that spells the end of constantly worrying about dieting. Well, refined grains and sugar come into the equation too.

The two to one rule

The two to one rule states that for every hour you spend growing, preparing and cooking your own food you will save at least double that in time wasted consulting doctors and standing in the queue at the pharmacy.

For me even weeding is preferable to having doctors peering with scopes into both ends of my alimentary canal.

Sourdough bread

Enjoy your creamed midsummer zucchini squash soup recipe with sourdough bread; just one slice and you have a meal.

For those who abhor the thought of Banting, Ketogenic and all the others absurd diets turn to whole grains, fresh vegetables and the healthy fats; period.

• Repeated loss and gain of weight will be disastrous for your health.
  

"Diets be gone" is our motto; for ever. Enjoy your creamed midsummer zucchini squash recipe and whole grain bread without guilt or consequences.

The healthy fats

The researchers are unequivocal. Avocados and olives are good for us; margarine and the excessive commercial seed oils added to so many processed foods are very inflammatory. Butter and coconut remain controversial. Our stance is that enjoyed with whole grains, plenty of fruits and salads we need not be overly concerned.

• Butter is back; and it is margarine's turn to be sent to Coventry.
