Zucchini Soup

Submitted by spacekitty

"This is a very simple and creamy soup recipe, with only 3 main ingredients, that I got from the "biggsuperstore2" website. I have found it better to add the zucchini and potatoes together along with the broth and simmer until soft. Makes it easier when blending, too. Enjoy!"
