ZUCCHINI SOUP



Zucchini Soup image

This creamy zucchini soup is the BEST way to use up garden zucchini with no need for a roux to make it nice and thick! Simply blend seasoned zucchini with potatoes to create a thick and flavorful broth. Add a touch of cream and your choice of cheese if desired for even more indulgence!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne (optional)
5 cups zucchini (cut into chunks)
3 cups chicken broth
1 Tablespoon soy sauce ((or Worcestershire sauce))
2 Russet potatoes (equal to 1 pound)
1/2 cup Half and Half (or heavy cream)
1 cup Cheddar Cheese

Steps:

  • Note: There is no need to peel the zucchini for this soup unless yours is jumbo sized, in which case it's possible that the skins are tough and slightly bitter.
  • Shred the cheese from a block for best results. Set aside to allow to come down to room temperature. This will allow it to melt and combine into the soup smoothly.
  • Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  • Add diced zucchini and seasonings: (1/4 tsp each of: dried rosemary, thyme, celery salt, kosher salt, pepper, and an optional pinch of cayenne.) Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cut them into small pieces of equal size so that they cook evenly and quickly.
  • Add diced potatoes, chicken broth, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Skim up any brown foam from the top if needed.
  • Let simmer, partially covered, until the vegetables are very fork tender. About 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches to blend until smooth.
