This was a unique soup, perfect for using up your bumper zucchini crop. I used the Cavender's seasoning, but increased it a bit because the soup can stand up to seasoning. I also was generous with the salt and pepper. I was unsure how this soup was supposed to be (texture-wise) and the cream cheese did not blend in easily, so I ended up using my hand-held immersion blender, which pureed all the ingredients. I ended up with a lovely cream texture. Thanks for sharing this.

I am a primary school teacher living in Bristol, England. At the moment I teach Kindergarten, known here as Reception. I really love my job but it doesn't leave much time for hobbies!
I enjoy cooking for friends and aim to try new recipes as often as possible! My signature dish has to be White Chocolate Blondies, as it is my most requested sweet treat, and I definitely have a sweet tooth!
Update- 5-5-09: Somebody was very thoughtful and gave me the gift of a premium membership. I can honestly say it made me feel so good! If you're out there, THANK YOU so much! I can't quite believe the generosity...
