I learned this excellent cream of zucchini soup recipe while living in Spain from a 75-year old woman in Madrid. It's excellent, easy, low-fat, and cheap, as well as a wonderful comfort food. Vary recipe by adding carrots or spinach or other vegetables. Increase potato volume for thicker soup. Garnish with croutons, paprika and chives. Delish!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup was too thick. I had to add some water to thin it out.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out watery. I think I may have added too much liquid.
