We have been getting zucchini in our box almost every week. I think the ones we are getting now are from Mexico, but they grow quite easily here, too. This week, I chose to make a soup from vegalicious with the zucchini.
I expected this to be spicy, but it wasn’t. You could add another jalapeno pepper or some additional cumin if you want more heat.
