CREAMY ZUCCHINI SOUP
You don't need loads of cream or even a roux to make a creamy zucchini soup. The natural texture of the zucchini flesh whizzes up beautifully to be a silky, creamy texture. It's well worth the extra few minutes to saute onions until golden for the extra flavour it adds. Topping the soup with a pinch of parmesan is a great finishing touch, otherwise try croutons, finely sliced basil or other herb.

CREAMY ZUCCHINI GARLIC SOUP
Don't let the amount of garlic scare you, this comes out with a nice but not overpowering garlic flavor which pairs wonderfully with the zucchini. This soup is delicious as soon as it's made but it's so much better the next day!

NICOLE'S CREAMY ZUCCHINI SOUP
This zucchini soup is savory, delicious, and reminiscent of a creamy broccoli soup. A bit of fresh dill for garnish really brightens it up and complements the earthy zucchini flavor. It's a great way to use up the bounty of summer zucchini!
