Some weeks ago, I made creamy zucchini soup to go along with roast chicken. The 2 elder ones didn't like it on it's own but when eaten with toast, it was alright for them. Despite using only 2 zucchinis instead of the recommended 4pcs, DD1 commented it was still too thick . I may add more stock next time to dilute the soup.

MaryMoh,

Edith,
I can't quite describe this, it's a fairly rich and creamy zucchini soup.
This looks yummy! What cream is used for the soup? Can it be found near where whipping cream is in the supermarket?
I used dairy whipping cream. You can use any cooking cream.
Hi,
Thanks! So sorry, didnt know that those are the cream used. I only know it can be used as whipping cream haha
This is good! I didn't add more stock though as we like it thick and creamy. I made this over the weekend and my hubby loves it! Viv
