ROSEMARY ZUCCHINI SOUP

Rosemary Zucchini Soup image

This recipe comes for the Canadian Living magazine. This soup will have you hoping for a bumper zucchini crop in the vegetable garden (can't wait LOL). Its creamy texture comes from the rice, not the cream. To make it smoother, strain the soup through a fine sieve after puréeing.
