I thought this was great! I was surprised how flavorful it is. Even my husband (big meat eater) liked it. I used low fat milk instead of cream and it worked great. It was enough for me as a meal but it would be a great first course for entertaining or just served with a sandwich for lunch.

Very quick, easy, nutritious, healthful, delicious. Makes a good 1st course or for a meal, serve with salad and bread. I used an immersion blender right in the pot to puree (so much easier than a blender!). I used 2% milk instead of cream. I doubled recipe and used 5 medium-large zucchini to equal 5 cups. I added a little garlic powder/granules. Would be good with fresh croutons sprinkled on top. Almost tastes like cream of broccoli soup. My 3 y.o. daughter loved it. I wondered if it's necessary to shred the zucchini since you'll be pureeing it; next time I'll just cube.
