Rosemary Zucchini Soup

Recipe #301400 | 44 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Boomette

This recipe comes for the Canadian Living magazine. This soup will have you hoping for a bumper zucchini crop in the vegetable garden (can't wait LOL). Its creamy texture comes from the rice, not the cream. To make it smoother, strain the soup through a fine sieve after puréeing.
