Summer Vegetable Chowder - Diet Lunch Version
This season I jumped at the opportunity to whip up a batch of this soup, the second my first zucchini came in. It's light and full of fabulous vegetables so on days where I don't feel like a salad this is a great lunch with a great serving of vegetables.
