Simply Delicious Zucchini Soup

Submitted by Spitkyng

"Smooth and thick with a fine blend of tastes, this soup will become your favorite. Adapted from Kosher By Design, so simple yet so tasty. Can be served hot or cold, whichever preferred. I'm not much of a soup lover, but this is phenomenal. I substitute the fresh herbs for dried. Instead of 1 tablespoon of each fresh, I use 1 teaspoon, dried. And instead of chicken broth i use water and add a bit more salt at the end."
