Lovely soup! It's creamy and smooth with a nice flavor. I saw no reason for 1/2 cup of butter, so I only used 3 tbsp. I also used fat free half and half. Even with these fat reductions, the soup was still creamy and delicious. It was quite simple to make as well. This bis an ideal recipe to use up those giant zucchinis from your summer garden. I enjoyed this as a hot soup, but I'm sure it's great served cold, too. Thanx for sharing!

This is a great use for all of the zucchini you get from your garden. I prepared it as directed except I used 2% milk instead of half and half and used my hand blender to puree. Added a little cheese on top as well! Very good....
