Ingredients

4 oz soft goat cheese

2-3 Tbsp heavy cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

18 -20 zucchini blossoms

Mix the cheeses and cream together and use to stuff blossoms.

Arrange the blossoms carefully in an oiled non-reactive pan. Heat very gently with a lid on until they start to collapse and give up some water (2-3 minutes).

In a separate pan, heat 2 cups Your Famous Chicken Broth [link].  When the broth is hot, add 1 cup chopped herbs (2 parts parsley, 1 part chives,  and1 part tarragon).

Place 4 or 5 blossoms in the bottom of each of 4 bowls  Carefully ladle some of the herbed chicken broth over the blossoms and serve immediately.
