Quick Creamy Zucchini Soup
Kelsey Leman
"This is one of my favorite soups! It's my grandma's recipe that she just handed down to me this year in celebration of my garden producing enough zucchini for a small army! It's creamy and filling but mild. This soup can be frozen."

I followed the recipe as written, and I found the end product extremely bland. I think with addition of some garlic and extra basil and salt, this could be ok. I tried to fix the soup after it w...
