Wilma's Chilled Zucchini Soup

Submitted by AllergyGirl

"My grandma used to make this every summer, when the garden was over flowing with zucchinis. I couldn't find the recipe for ages, until my parents moved and they found her old recipe book. Everything about this brings me back to slow, hot Virginia summers - spending time on the porch sipping iced tea and playing in the sprinkler."
