Zucchini Soup

 I may have mentioned that my husband gardens?? Did I mention that he planted 27 Zucchini plants this year?   Did I mention that I am learning LOTS of new ways to use said Zucchini???

This is SOUP!!!

i shredded a ton of it over the summer and froze it - so!!

I got out my trusty crockpot and tossed in: 

  • *5 cups of Shredded Zucchini
  • *3 diced Medium potato's ( I did not peel them as they were those soft yellow potato's)
  • *2 cups of Chicken Broth,.

I cooked it on Low for about 5 hours - then - I turned the heat up to high and added 

*1 8 oz Block of Cream Cheese

Cooked it for 25 minutes 




Then I stirred it up -  I probably should have used my hand blender, but it was soft enough to just stir. I think if I had used my Hand blender the cream cheese would have smoothed in faster. 

We were kind of starving, so we ate a bowl - by the second bowl all the cream cheese had melted in.

But! In our defense we had been out riding for 4 hours, and it was actually chilly that day - Not Winter cold yet - but chilly.... .


And we had a grilled cheese sandwich to go with it 
That was NOT a Bad way to use Zucchini!

That sounds yummy! I never know how to use up zucchini, except in bread, so this soup would be a good thing to have in the recipe box. But - 27 plants? There should be a law against that, lol!

Mmmm, it sounds delicious as I love zucchini. I like zucchini noodles in place of pasta too!

You know, a potato based soup is a great way to add in all kinds of other veggies. And my veggie of choice for potato soup is sausage! LOL. I meant spinach. Yeah, spinach and sausage!

Sounds like a wonderful soup for a chilly day. I hope he learned not to plant that much zucchini next year.
