Kukuruz Zucchetti Soup

Dip the tomatoes briefly in boiling water, remove the skin and cut into pieces. Remove the peel from the onion and garlic and chop finely. Sauté in hot oil until light yellow. Add tomato cubes and puree. Cover and cook for about ten minutes. Then blend finely with a hand blender or in a hand mixer.

While the tomato sauce is cooking, rinse the zucchini in cold water, rub dry, cut away the stalks and flowers and cut in half lengthwise without peeling, then cut into slices. Cut the stem ends of the corn cobs flat. Place the cobs on the surface and cut down the kernels all around with a large kitchen knife.

Add the soup to the tomato sauce form and bubble. Add zucchetti, corn kernels and sprigs of lemon balm or cilantro and simmer gently for twenty minutes with the lid on. Finally, season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Serve the soup in deep cups or plates and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Tip: Zucchini are a type of pumpkin and therefore low in calories, rich in vitamins and easy to digest – just the thing for a light meal!
