This is a fast and easy soup that I keep on hand at all times. Great for when an unexpected guest comes over. Inexpensive and freezes well, too. Warms your belly on those chilly days of winter.
Ohhhhhh my goodness this is good! I made up a batch tonight so I'd have some to take for lunch this week. I had to force myself not to eat it tonight! And the crazy part is, it's SO amazingly easy with only a few ingredients. Very impressive flavor. I haven't made a recipe this good with so few ingredients in quite a while. The only thing I might suggest is using less chicken bouillon because I found it slightly salty. I didn't have bouillon cubes, so I used the equivalent of 7 cubes in Better Than Bouillon chicken base (7 teaspoons), which may be the culprit, although from what I've heard, the cubes are more salty anyway. Next time I will try 5. And there will definitely be a next time. Oh, and one more thing....this makes a lot of soup, like 4 gigantic servings or 6 "normal" size servings. Thanks for the amazing recipe Jilly Bean!

Made it without changes- was excellent, my teenagers and husband loved it! Will def make again and again. Simple and delicious recipe.
Much better if you use real chicken broth instead of a bunt hint of chemicals in a cube.
Do not be fooled by the few ingredients and simplicity of the preparation: This recipe is far greater than the sum of its parts. It flew well under the radar of the avowed zucchini loathers in my house, who had multiple servings. Outstanding!
I have changed this recipe only in amounts used. It works very well with squash the size of baseball bats [which I used to grate and freeze or give to the chickens] but you do have to adjust the amounts. I have already frozen enough to get us through the winter for easy dinner go-withs. Thank you, thank you for this recipe. GranB
I already reviewed stating how FABULOUS this recipe this is, but neglected to say that I used one fewer boullion cube and added a little freshly ground black pepper. It was absolutely PERFECT!!! And it is wonderful warm and cold!
Amazing soup, so simple yet so tasty, I'm going to have to make extra next time because everyone wanted seconds and thirds!
This recipe checks all the boxes for me! 1) Bumper crop of zucchini from pandemic vegetable garden doesn't go to waste, 2) can turn on the pot to do other tasks around the house, 3) takes simple ingredients I always have on-hand, 4) tasted amazing!! Definitely will make again and again. P.S. I use an ice cream scoop to take out most of the seeds of my zucchini once I cut it into 4ths lengthwise.
So delicious! We added some pepper and Italian blend cheese which just put it over the top.
This is awesome and so easy! Perfect for zucchini that's getting a bit soft already!
I wish there was a better measurement for the size of the zucchini. In my garden I have small to large. Cup measurement would of been helpful.. I did add 1/2 of a sweet onion and a sprig of lemon thyme from the herb garden. Will make it again and freeze for the winter Nonna Deb
Excellent! I did change it just to lighten it up a little, I used 4 oz. reduced fat cream cheese and added a little cayenne pepper. Great recipe!
Wow this is a great recipe! It was all the rave at a baby shower I took it to. Many ladies wanted the recipe. I did use only use5 bullion cubes & added crab to one pot I took, and one just plain. Everyone loved it. Had some left over and my family loves it too.
Followed the instructions to a "T"!! Will absofriggenlutley make this again!!!
