Steps:
- Note: There is no need to peel the zucchini for this soup unless yours is jumbo sized, in which case it's possible that the skins are tough and slightly bitter.
- Shred the cheese from a block for best results. Set aside to allow to come down to room temperature. This will allow it to melt and combine into the soup smoothly.
- Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
- Add diced zucchini and seasonings: (1/4 tsp each of: dried rosemary, thyme, celery salt, kosher salt, pepper, and an optional pinch of cayenne.) Sauté for 5 minutes.
- Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cut them into small pieces of equal size so that they cook evenly and quickly.
- Add diced potatoes, chicken broth, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Skim up any brown foam from the top if needed.
- Let simmer, partially covered, until the vegetables are very fork tender. About 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches to blend until smooth.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm zucchini: Look for zucchini that is deep green in color and has no blemishes. Avoid zucchini that is soft or has yellowing skin.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to zucchini, this soup can be made with other vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of vegetables to find your favorite.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use chicken or vegetable broth: Either chicken or vegetable broth can be used in this soup. If you are using chicken broth, be sure to use a low-sodium broth so that the soup is not too salty.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good options include basil, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Some good options include basil, parsley, and chives.
