INSTRUCTIONS
In a large saucepan heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and saute onion, carrot, and potato with salt to taste until vegetables are lightly browned. Add tomatoes and their liquid, broth, and pasta and simmer, stirring to break up tomatoes, 10 minutes, or until pasta and vegetables are tender. In a skillet saute garlic in remaining tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until golden and discard with a slotted spoon. In garlic-flavored oil fry bread, seasoned with salt, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden on all sides. Remove skillet from heat and add parsley and Parmesan, tossing croutons to coat well. Add zucchini and half the croutons to tomato mixture and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, or until zucchini is almost tender and croutons are dissolved. Stir in romaine and cook 1 minutes. Serve soup sprinkled with remaining croutons. Makes about 4 1/2 cups. Gourmet December 1994 Converted by MC_Buster. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
