Time 40m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped celery
5 cups unpeeled, sliced zucchini (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup light cream or milk
1 cup lightly packed, grated, medium-sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place 2 cups of the broth, the onion, celery, zucchini, salt and pepper in a 3- or 4-quart saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes.
  • Puree in small batches in a blender or food processor and set aside in the saucepan.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add the cream and the remaining 1/2 cup of broth. Return to heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the cheese and stir to melt. Add to the pureed vegetables. Correct seasonings. Heat gently before serving.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup curdled. I'm going to try making it again and see if I can figure out what I did wrong.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was a little too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.
