This is an amazingly easy soup to make and it’s a good use of zucchini when you have an abundance. This soup freezes well because it is pureed- no texture to lose in the freezer!
I use chicken stock to give this soup more flavor but you can easily substitute vegie stock instead.

In large saute pan or stockpot saute garlic and onions in olive oil until soft.
1 Tblsp olive oil
1/4 cup garlic, peeled and chopped
2 cups onions, chopped
Add:
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped (I use Trader Joe’s with Herbs that are packed in oil)
3 pounds zucchini, chopped
5 cups chicken stock (or vegie stock)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry basil
Simmer until all vegies are soft enough to puree.
Remove pan from heat.
I use my immersion blender right in the pan of soup (very carefully!)
If you don’t have an immersion blender, just carefully puree the hot soup in batches in your regular blender. Be sure that the lid is on tight!
You can serve this soup hot or cold. I ate the leftover soup cold and enjoyed it a lot that way. This would be especially nice for a summer recipe.
This soup freezes extremely well since it is pureed.
This recipe should serve at least 6-8.

Thank you April! This is a good way to use an abundance of zucchini up!
This looks like a real winner. I have some frozen shredded zucchini from last summer that would probably work in this recipes. I also have some frozen sun dried tomatoes I made that need to be used. I might give it a try for lunch this week.
Thank you Linda! This is a great way to use up zucchini when you have a lot!
I am always looking for new ideas to use for zuchhini.
This recipe looks great.
Thank you Judee!
