This cream of zucchini soup recipe was conjured up when I found myself with an excess of zukes. I didn’t want them to go to waste so I did a little experiment. And, wow, I’m so happy that I did! This may just be one of my favorite soups yet and it’s so easy to make!

My husband and I were quite skeptical about this concoction that I was working on. You see, I don’t really love zucchini or at least I thought I didn’t. I’ve begun to realize that I just don’t like plain old sauteed mushy zucchini but, hey, if you do that’s ok. Either way, we didn’t have high hopes for this soup. But it turns out that we were wrong in our early assumptions. This zucchini soup is outstanding!

I decided to add curry powder to give the soup a little more zip since zucchini is pretty bland. The curry powder is what makes this soup shine, in my opinion. Feel free to leave it out if you don’t like the flavor of curry though.

Cream of zucchini soup only requires 6 ingredients and if you want to cut back on the amount of fat in this recipe then use milk or half and half instead of the heavy cream. This soup is keto and low carb diet friendly too.

I used an immersion blender to make the zucchini soup extra creamy. If you don’t have a handheld immersion blender, then a regular blender is fine to use. It can be a bit messy though and please be careful when blending hot soup, it likes to splatter!
