CREAMY ZUCCHINI SOUP



Creamy Zucchini Soup image

You don't need loads of cream or even a roux to make a creamy zucchini soup. The natural texture of the zucchini flesh whizzes up beautifully to be a silky, creamy texture. It's well worth the extra few minutes to saute onions until golden for the extra flavour it adds. Topping the soup with a pinch of parmesan is a great finishing touch, otherwise try croutons, finely sliced basil or other herb.

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the zucchini: This will help to prevent the zucchini from shredding.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the zucchini: This will prevent the zucchini from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the zucchini until it is tender but still has a slight crunch: Overcooked zucchini will be mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a cheese that you like. Cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all good choices.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
  • Serve the soup hot: Creamy cheesy zucchini soup is best served hot, so make sure to reheat it if you're making it ahead of time.
