Tips:

- To easily remove the zucchini seeds, cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
- If you don't have almond milk on hand, you can make your own by blending 1 cup of almonds with 2 cups of water until smooth. Then strain the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined colander.
- To make the soup creamier, blend it until smooth with an immersion blender or in a regular blender.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or parsley, for extra flavor and color.
