Soup of the Week ~ Zucchini and Corn

Doing some planting in the next few weeks and before I know it, these lovely Z's will be coming out my ears!  Unfotunately, I'm the only one in my house who likes this versatile vegetable.  If you live in a similar situation, just remember that it's really easy to hide zucchini in soups and casseroles, especially if you peel it:)
