HAVING RAIN FOR TWO DAYS.....!

After work I was heading home here in Tarifa..streets were soaking wet...pools everywhere....no one to be seen..somehow people here in Spain seem to be affraid of rain...with sunny days you will see no one staying at home....the streets are full of people....on rainy days you wander what happend and ask yourself where everybody went...is there a big party that nobody told me about??..no no....it´s raining..don´t you see? we can´t go out......strange....and sad really.....feeling the rain and dancing under it is an amazing feeling..this reminds me of lasts year trip to New York, when together with other friends we finished our tantric yoga class swetting like crazy...we came down into the busy streets and rain was falling down like I have never seen....we took our shoes off and started running thrue the crowds...it was a great sensation!!!!woowww...I felt sooo freee......I loved it and would do it all over again......:-))
So..back to Spain...to Tarifa...heading back home...what could be better than a nice "cuppa" warm soup in front of the tv???? mmmm....right at that moment..nothing! I opened my fridge, took my fresh veggies and started cooking this lovely warm and "Autumy" soup..............

Recipe:

-1 large red paprika
-1 zucchini
-1/2 yellow onion
-2 cloves garlic
-1 large ripe tomato
- 1 tbs Curry powder, madras
-Olive oil, extra virgin
-Salt and pepper
- 2 cups of water

In a pot, add olive oil medium heat, add the onion, previously chopped, garlic and curry powder, leave it two minutes cooking then add the chopped paprika, chopped zucchini, let cook again for 5 more minutes and at the end add the chopped tomato..leave cooking for another 10 more minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Bring everything into a blender, be careful as the soup at this point is very hot, make sure you close the blender well before turning it on. Blend well until smooth texture.

Serve in cups or bowls and garnish with some fine zucchini slices and some drops olive oil...enjoyyyyy...mmmmm...I know I did....hehe!
