1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/2" cubes
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup red wine vinegar

4 small radishes, finely sliced
2 tomatoes, seeded and sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
3 scallions, chopped

2 clove celery, finely sliced on the diagonal
1 red pepper, diced

20 fresh basil leaves, shredded
1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley

Recipe
1. Bring the stock to a boil and simmer until it has reduced by half.
Refrigerate until well chilled.
2. Blanch the broccoli and cauliflower florets in boiling salted water until
slightly cooked but still crunchy, about 1 minute. Plunge the florets into ice
water, strain, and refrigerate.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook
until transparent, not brown, about 1 minute.
4. Add the zucchini and cook until the skin turns bright green but is still
firm, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and chill.
5. Add the lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper to the cold stock. Add all the
vegetables and herbs and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
6. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
7. Divide the soup among 16 bowls. Top with the radicchio and arugula. Serve.
Serving Size: about 1 cup
