Chilled Zucchini-Leek Soup image

Making this soup with zucchini, leek, and creme fraiche is quick and easy, but plan ahead, as the soup needs to chill for at least 1 hour to be nice and cold. I also have served it as an appetizer in little shot glasses.

I like to add a little bit of sour cream to my soup. It gives it a little bit of extra richness and flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but this soup was surprisingly good. The zucchini flavor was very subtle and the soup was very creamy and flavorful.

This chilled zucchini leek soup was the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day. It was light and refreshing, with a subtle sweetness from the zucchini and a hint of onion from the leeks.
