Made with a huge zucchini. We loved this one.

I really loved this soup! It was so full of flavour, and so simple to make! I added a full teaspoon of Greek seasoning, but that was my only alteration. Made for ZWT7-Switzerland. (Vivacious Violets)

This was a unique soup, perfect for using up your bumper zucchini crop. I used the Cavender's seasoning, but increased it a bit because the soup can stand up to seasoning. I also was generous with the salt and pepper. I was unsure how this soup was supposed to be (texture-wise) and the cream cheese did not blend in easily, so I ended up using my hand-held immersion blender, which pureed all the ingredients. I ended up with a lovely cream texture. Thanks for sharing this.
