I live on good soup, not on fine words

I've been on a food marathon during Xmas, I ate everything and a lot.
Coming back to LA, I had to do something about it, unfortunately with my job, I can't gain too too much, (no worries, I never starve myself!)
The weather has been really cold, it's seriously freezing, with a mean wind added to it. What the heck LA!? So what's better than cooking a soup?? Yeah, I'm no genius I know, but it's easy, healthy, warm, cheap, so I cooked a pretty good soup with zucchini and tomatoes :)
I had leftovers for few days which was rad.
Plus I thought it will be a great thing to be super healthy before I make some bad decisions on NYE weekend (yeah, I'm going to make my NYE a whole weekend!)

My blog is already a mishmash of everything + I love cooking = I thought it would be a good idea to share it!

Tomato and Zucchini Soup
Ingredients (for 4 people):
6 middle sizes tomatoes
1 big zucchini
1 big potato
1 onion
vegetable stock
fresh chopped garlic
sour cream
any shredded cheese you like
1 big spoon of olive oil
salt, pepper, curry

Chop all the ingredients into little cubes.

Use a big pot and saute onions in oil over low heat until they get translucent.
Once done, add the other veggies, garlic, a pinch of salt, pepper and curry.
Cook everything for about 7min but be careful not to brown the vegetables.

Then add a bowl of vegetable stock and 2 bowls of water.
Cover and let it cook for about 20min.
When ready, puree with a blender.
That's when I add the sour cream, I usually put a lot of it so it's very creamy!
Continue stirring until the soup is hot and well blended.

Serve in a bowl, add cheese, some pepper and croutons if you feel like it!
It's ready!!!
