Soups are great in any season. This Smooth Zucchini Soup can be done in just 15 minutes! Super easy and quick.
Our garden is not only abundant with tomatoes this year. It also produces zucchinis more than we can handle. As we rarely eat lunch at home, the two zucchini plants I have in my small garden, produce more than enough.
So over the weekend, I happened to overlook a zucchini that grew into a giant. As giant zucchinis are not as tasty and tender as their smaller brothers, I decided to make the giant into a Zucchini Soup.
Summer soups are fun. And who says it is too hot to eat a soup in summer? Using fresh and tender ingredients they can be done in as little as 15 minutes.
