Yellow Squash Soup with Sheese Crisp, Tomato and Squash Blossom

We picked up some shiitakes from the farmers market yesterday and decide to use them in a risotto. We seem to be making a lot of risotto paired with grilled/marinated tofu lately.



The soup is adpated from here -- making the usual substitutions. The squash blossoms were a last minute thing. We removed the leaves from the blossoms after the picture and put them in the hot soup to wilt slightly before eating.



Here's a shot of the (gouda) sheese crisps -- we microplaned the sheese right over the cast iron pan to make them -- a great flavor component to the soup.
