people. Serve as described above. Second day: Add to the remainder another
couple of peeled and chopped tomatoes, a few leaves of finely chopped
spinach, another zucchini, and a few leftover cooked chickpeas. Add a bit
of grated lemon rind and a touch of onion about 10 minutes before serving.
Third day: For lunch, the soup is good cold with a dollop of creme
frai'che. Fourth day: Add 2 or 3 peeled and diced beets, another cup of
finely chopped, cooked cabbage, 3 or 4 more mushrooms, and if any, a little
left over vegetable broth cooked from another day. NOTE: Of course, if you
have some chicken or vegetable broth you can add it to the soup. The secret
