Zucchini Soup

Submitted by MigJ9063

"This is a great late summer soup when it starts to cool off and you have zucchini coming out your ears. This soup freezes beautifully. You can add chicken for a hearty soup. I got this recipe from The Dining Diva."

i make almost an identical soup. I omit the cream cheese and put all of it in the food processor. I then can it. When I reheat it in the winter, i add the cream cheese on the stove top. Its the most delicious soup ever. I did find that it is thicker and more like a creamy broccoli soup by decreasing the amount of liquid. Enjoy!
