This soup is perfect for entertaining because it can be made a day or two ahead of time and can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator. It is inexpensive, easy to make and very low in calories, and it is good served hot, cold or at room temperature - it adapts well to almost any kind of party environment. I like to serve this soup in shallow bowls or soup plates and garnish it with peeled, diced tomato. However, I often serve it before dinner in mugs. ZUCCHINI BISQUE

3 medium zucchini, chopped
1 1/2 cups fat-free chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted stock)

Combine the onion, zucchini and chicken stock in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
