Zucchini Soup: A Favorite

Zucchini Soup

This is one of my FAVORITE soups! It's so fresh and yummy!

  Cook the onions until they are translucent.

 Add the chopped zucchini and cook until slightly soft.

I can't live without this bullion paste (Costco).

 Add a couple tablespoons of bullion and water to barely cover the zucchini.

Use your hand blender (go get one they're only $30) and blend until smooth.

 I could barely take the photo because I was so excited to dive in and eat it up! Add a little shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream if you'd like! YUM!

Dinner Tonight With Homemade Pizzas

I made this soup and it was DELISH! I was able to eat it for several days later and it was great! I used fat free milk and got my broccoli from Trader Joe's already ready to go! :) I will definitely make this again!

Best Cream Of Broccoli Soup

Rated:	Prep Time: 10 Minutes	Ready In: 35 Minutes
Submitted By: Jessie A.	Cook Time: 25 Minutes	Servings: 6

"Onions, celery and broccoli cooked in chicken broth are pureed with milk in this roux-thickened soup."

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons butter 1 onion, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 3 cups chicken broth 8 cups broccoli florets

3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 cups milk ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium sized stock pot, and saute onion and celery until tender. Add broccoli and broth, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
2.	Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
3.	In small saucepan, over medium-heat melt 3 tablespoons butter, stir in flour and add milk. Stir until thick and bubbly, and add to soup. Season with pepper and serve.
