Used soft cream cheese instead of velveeta and it was super tasty and made a fast cream of zucchini soup on a busy week night.The other change was adding a Tbsp of beef bovril bouillon since i had no chicken bouillon powder. My 2.5yr old son and I enjoyed it.

This is a very tasty soup:) And incredibly easy and fast. Instead of the cheese, I used 6 fluid oz milk with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. I will definitely make it again!

Excellent recipe! I substituted Neufchâtel cheese (8 oz) for the processed cheese food, then added an extra small potato since my zucchini were a little small.

I would give this recipe 10 stars if I could! I used Philidelphia creme cheese and everyone raved about it, even people who usually won't eat zucchini. It was a hit at a dinner party and many compared it to soup from high end resturants. I agree with that assessment and will definitely make again. It is a creamy but not heavy soup with a nice, not over powering flavor. I served it with croutons sprinkled on top. No one even touched crackers with this one.

I went to Spain the Summer of 2007 for a 6 week study abroad program. I am a Spanish major wanting to become a high school Spanish teacher. I stayed with a young host family and this is one of the recipes they gave me at the end of the trip. This is totally authentic and an amazing recipe. When I went to Spain I highly disliked soups of all kinds. When I came back I was in love with soups. This recipe is one of the ones that turned me from a soup hater to a soup lover. Also do not use any yellow cheese. Authentically it is a white soft processed cheese, the texture and consistancy of cream cheese though I am not actually sure if that is the type of cheese used. When made properly the flavor of the cheese is barely noticed.

I lived in Spain for 10 years and make this all the time. My kids love it. I would recommend using La Vache qui Rie style cheese or just plain Philadelphia. Certainly not Kraft singles or anything like that.

This is one of those dishes common in every Spanish household that never makes into cookbooks. My mother serves this soup cold in summer, and it's so refreshing after a day in the beach!

I liked this soup a lot, very rich and creamy. I used shredded sharp cheddar, which gave the soup a really pretty golden color. It would probably taste great with crumbled bacon or parsley to garnish it.

This is a delicious and extremely low fat soup good on a cold winter day but fancy enough for entertaining. Great way to use up all that zucchini. I made with zucchini I froze 2 years ago. Highly recommended.
