I would have liked this soup more if it had a thicker consistency. I ended up adding a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up.

Not bad, but not great either. The soup lacked a bit of depth in flavor and the consistency was a bit too thin for my liking.

This soup is a must-try! The combination of zucchini, carrots, and cream creates a velvety and flavorful broth. The addition of Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness and umami. Highly recommended!

This soup was incredibly delicious and easy to make. It had a creamy and flavorful broth with tender zucchini and a hint of sweetness from the carrots. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it turned out great!
