Cream of Zucchini Soup image

This is my grandma's recipe, and one of my all-time favorites. It has such a wonderful flavor--which you really can't guess by looking at the deceptively simple list of ingredients. I have enjoyed serving this at summer tea parties, because it's light and savory, a good complement to scones, fruit salad, and perhaps cheese and fresh vegetables. But it's great for any meal.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup butter
4 cups boiling water
4 chicken bouillon cubes
6 medium zucchini, unpeeled and diced
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried celery leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
1 (13 ounce) can evaporated milk or 1 cup milk

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, saute onion in butter.
  • In a large saucepan, combine boiling water with bouillon cubes.
  • Add zucchini, herbs and seasonings, and the sauteed onion, along with the butter. Simmer until zucchini is tender.
  • Remove and discard the bay leaf. (Don't forget this step, because if the bay leaf goes through the blender, it will spoil your soup!).
  • Remove saucepan from stove and puree soup in blender, a few cups at a time. (Don't fill blender more than half full, and keep the lid on at all times. Hot liquid can be dangerous in a blender! Alternatively, you may be able to blend the soup in the pan by using a hand-held stick blender.).
  • Return puree to saucepan and stir in milk. Reheat slightly, but don't boil.

This soup was a disaster! It was watery and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I added some more broth and it was perfect.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This soup is a great way to use up all that summer zucchini. It's light and refreshing, with a subtle sweetness from the zucchini. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was perfect.

Just made this soup for dinner and it's fantastic! The creamy zucchini base is so rich and flavorful. I topped mine with a dollop of sour cream and some fresh herbs. Yum!

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a winner. It's so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I like to add a bit of fresh zucchini at the end for a pop of color and texture. Highly recommend!

This cream of zucchini soup was a hit with my family! It was creamy, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of cheesy goodness. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra kick, and it was delicious. 5 stars!
