Disclaimer:
This recipe was given to be by my mom and never written down. I just watched her and did what she did. Then I added one more step to make it a sauce.
8 C zucchini sliced (if it's over grown and a bit big, just remove the seeds because they can be a bit woody)
2 T butter
1/2 t salt
1/4 C to 1 C milk, half and half or cream
Place zucchini in a large pot and fill half full with hot water. Put on lid and cook until water has boiled for 5 minutes. Place zucchini in a strainer and press out extra water. Put directly into a blender. Add butter and salt and blend. Add your choice of liquid a little at a time and mix until desired soup consistency. Adjust salt seasoning. Serve while hot!
**So amazing with sweet cherry tomatoes on top. Grayson could drink a gallon of this soup.
To the above recipe, throw in 1 C of fresh basil leaves and blend until smooth. It turns it into a healthy pesto pasta sauce.
**Truly, I've never measured, so just taste and adjust! It is so worth it and so good! And so perfect in August when your zucchini plant is going crazy!
I'm going to try this tomorrow! Yum!
