Creamy soup that is super easy to make in one pot. I have also tried adding a teaspoon of red pepper flakes for a little extra heat.

Ingredients

3 pounds zucchini, sliced
2 cups water
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 large onion, chopped
4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

Mix zucchini, water, chicken broth, onion, bacon, garlic, salt, pepper, and basil together in a large pot; bring to a boil and cook until the zucchini is tender, about 30 minutes.
Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.
