Mediterranean Grilled Vegetable Soup
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) there are five elements that
contribute to all activities: TREE / WOOD, FIRE, SOIL / EARTH, METAL and WATER.
Fire is the element of summer ? so how can this help to put more of YOU in
summer? The more you use EnergyRich? Seasonal Foods (rather than
associational season foods ? a-hem like, maybe, ice-cream?), the more energy you
have available for fun!
Here is a perfect EnergyRich? recipe for the summer:
Mediterranean Grilled Vegetable Soup
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded and quartered lengthwise
1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and quartered lengthwise
2 small zucchini (1/2 lb. total), trimmed and quartered lengthwise
1 red onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 tsp. olive oil
3 large vine-ripened tomatoes (1 1/4 lbs.), cored and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 cup shredded basil leaves
1 Tbsp. red-wine vinegar
Pinch of salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Instructions
1 - Prepare a grill or preheat the broiler.
2 - Grill or broil bell peppers, skin-side toward the flame, until the skin is
blackened, 5 to 10 minutes.

4 - Brush zucchini and onion slices with oil and grill or broil until well browned and
tender, about 5 minutes.

6 - Peel the peppers.
7 - Coarsely chop the yellow pepper and set aside with the reserved zucchini and
onions.
