This soup was delicious (though I made a few alterations). I used three cups of chicken stock in place of the 2 cups water. I used a can of petite diced tomatoes with green chilis, in place of the 1/2 cup tomato (made it really spicy!). I also added 3 cloves of garlic to the sauteed onion/zucchini mixture. Added a little extra salt/pepper than what the recipe called for. I left out the evaporated milk and parsley, and pureed the whole soup when it was done, so it had a great creamy texture. I think I could've gotten my kids to actually eat this (because it was hard to tell what veggies were in it after pureeing) but I made it too spicy. Next time I will probably just use a can of petite diced "garlic" tomatoes.

This soup was pretty good! Simple and tasty. I left out the milk and butter because I'm lactose intolerant and just used a bit more olive oil. Turned out very tasty still! Also added 2 cloves of fresh garlic, used real celery stalks instead of celery salt and added more salt and pepper. Overall, simple, healthy, good!

As is, this is not a very flavorful soup. It's a good way to use up zucchini, and a good soup for if you're wanting low-sodium food, but it was very bland soup for the most part. I added garlic, about twice as many tomatoes, a little salt, and about a half cup of shredded cheese. It made it much better, but I probably won't be making this again.

I was all set to give this a bad review because the after-taste was horrid. Instead of throwing out the whole batch, I refrigerated it over night and tasted again in the morning. The after taste was gone once it had time for the flavors to blend. I did add some garlic which greatly improved the flavor. Thanks for sharing, I have a large crop of garden carrots to use up.

Excellent combination of flavors. I had a spare leek and threw it in (white part in the puree, green part chopped and sauteed). Also, I diced some thick bacon and used it with the zucchini and skipped the oil/butter. I sped up the cooking time by putting the carrots, onion, and leek in the pressure cooker while I worked on the rest.

Due to lack of ingredients (poor college student) I changed some items: 1 medium onion instead of 2 small, seasoned salt instead of celery salt, no tomatos, and dried parsley instead of fresh. The result was amazing. Creamy and flavorful. This is one of my new favorite soup recipes.
