time to start thinking soup. This recipe can be a meal all by
itself.

Cream of Vegetable Soup
 
   1/4 cup butter
   2 red potatoes, chopped
   1 small onion, chopped
   2 ribs celery, chopped
   1 15-oz. can tomatoes, diced
   1 zucchini, grated
   3 cups fat free beef broth
   1 clove garlic, minced
   1/2 tsp. tarragon
   1/2 tsp. marjoram
   Salt and pepper to taste
   2 Tbsp. cream sherry
   1/2 cup fat free half and half
   Croutons on the side
 
In a large saucepan, saute vegetables in butter for several
minutes. Add beef broth, garlic, tarragon, marjoram and salt and
pepper to vegetables and simmer for 30 - 40 minutes over low heat

blender and puree. Return to saucepan; stir in sherry and cream
