Holmes Elementary Harvest Celebration

Each spring my daughter's new school plants a large garden. Then in the fall they have a harvest celebration, featuring foods made from that same garden. The PTO delivers ingredients to parent volunteers, and they make a dish. The kids get to try some new foods, and get great experience seeing where and how food really gets on to their table. Here is the line for the Harvest Buffet:

I volunteered to make a soup from the bell peppers (recipe follows). The turn out was amazing - there must have been several hundred people from the community there, and dozens of volunteer chefs. There were several versions of bruschetta, a couple soups, numerous salads, a couple sweet breads (zucchini and carrot) and basil lemonade!

Unfortunately, my soup was a hit which means there were no left overs for (a) a picture for the blog or (b) me freezer! Next time I'm making a triple batch.
