I came up with this recipe this past August. I know-not the time most people make soup! With all the zucchini growing in my dad’s garden and people giving away zucchini from their gardens at work, it was the best time to experiment with some new zucchini recipes. Thanks to all the zucchini that came my way, I developed my Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread and this Creamy Zucchini Soup recipe!

You won’t believe how tasty AND healthy this Creamy Zucchini Soup is! Made with potato, onion, celery, and four zucchini, this soup gets its richness, color and flavor from vegetables, broth, herbs and just a little bit of butter and milk! I’m happy to share this soothing, healthy, easy zucchini soup recipe for everyone to enjoy!

  • Creamy Zucchini Soup

After washing and chopping your vegetables, all you’ll do is saute the onion in the butter and olive oil. Once the onion begins to soften and before it takes on color, you’ll add the rest of the vegetables, the broth, salt, pepper and herbs. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer until the vegetables are fork tender. I usually take a piece of potato out of the soup and if I can pierce it easily with a knife, I know the vegetables are cooked through.

Once cooked, puree the soup. If you have an immersion blender, now is the time to put it to use! If you don’t have one, just use a ladle to spoon the soup into a blender. Since the soup is hot, try not to fill the blender to the top. I fill it about 3/4 full, put the top on and cover the top with kitchen towel before blending. You’ll most likely need to puree the contents in two batches.

Once the soup is pureed, return it to the pot on medium heat. Add the milk and stir until heated through. That’s it! Remove it from heat and enjoy!
