Zucchini Soup

For those of you who have, or will have, zucchini coming out the wazoo this summer, here is a recipe I got from my friend Debora. I think she called it Pizza Soup so more people would eat it. In certain areas of the country this is the only time of year you must lock your car, or else it will be filled with zucchini when you return.

Zucchini Soup

1lb sausage
2c celery
2lbs zucchini, sliced in 1" pieces
1c chopped onion
2qt tomatoes or juice or combination
1tsp salt
1tsp Italian seasoning
1tsp oregano
1tsp sugar
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Brown sausage and drain fat. Add celery and cook 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 30+ minutes. Serve with garlic bread and salad.
