1/4 c Light sour cream

Saute onion till tender
Add squash, zucchini, broth, salt and pepper
Cove, cook over med. 20 min stirring occationally
Add basil and sour cream

Tomato and White Bean

Ingredients

1 c Onion chopped
2 tbs Olive oil
5 cloves Garlic chopped

15 oz White beans drained and rinsed

Add remaining ingredients
Simmer 45 min.

The original recipe called for italian sausuage. I adapted it when I stopped eating meat. It's missing a little something and so far I just add some pesto and all is good. I've also tried adding Tofurkey sausage but it wasn't quite right. If you come up with anything else, let me know.
