Sounds yummy; I'll have to try it.

Here's an easy one for you:

Sautee an onion and some cloves of garlic in olive oil in a sauce pan.

Using a cheese grater, grate some (2-3, depending on how many are eating) fresh zucchini and/or yellow (crookneck) squash into the sauce pan.

Cover with water, add sea salt, and bring to a boil for 5-10 minutes.

Squash soup! Really yummy, and so easy.
