I just typed up this much loved recipe, so I figured I'd post it.

Zucchini Soup

3 Tbsp canola oil
3 large onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
6-8 medium zucchini, with skin, ends trimmed, and cut into chunks
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (I use 1 tsp dried parsley)
1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped (I use 1 tsp dried dill)
1 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped (I use a tiny touch of dried basil)
7 cups chicken broth, can use parve bouillon dissolved in water (I usually use water and then add a lot of salt to taste at the end)
salt
freshly ground black pepper

Heat oil in 8 qt pot over med-high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute 5-7 minutes.
Add zucchini for 3-5 minutes. Then parsley, dill and basil for 3 minutes. Add broth or water. Bring to a boil. Cover pot and simmer 25 minutes.
Blend soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

This looks pretty much like the recipe I made off the top of my head, except I didn't use all the herbs. Maybe I'll try them next time. My soup was delicious; maybe this way it will be stupendous.

What can I serve in zucchini soup? I.e. knaidel, dumplings

And how can I stretch it. I don't think I'll have enough- should I add a potato or s/t?

I guess you can serve kneidels on dumplings in the soup if you'd like.
And if you need to stretch it for more people, then yes, I think potato goes nicely with zucchini.

Thanks!

I was thinking if I make knaidlach it would displacd the soup and I won't need to serve as much to each person.

I think I'm going to turn it into a veggie soup though, cuz I don't know if just a potato or two will stretch it enough.

Good Shabbos!

I make this soup often, and we love it! I just wanted to comment on the bouillon vs. water+salt. . . I always used a bouillon, and today I made it for the first time using water with extra salt, like ra_mom mentioned. I actually liked it better than the bouillon version! Just wanted to share that in case anyone finds it helpful.

I add carrots to my zucchini soup-it's a delicious combo!

Yes, we puree it, and it's super smooth and creamy.

I think it says so in the recipe above. I will check Smile

I usuallly puree it, or if I'm in a "chunky" mood I just use a potato masher.

I've served it with little meat wontons (my version of krepelach) and it was delicious that way too. Also great for a light dinner with fresh rolls and some cheese for protein.

Anyone ever try freezing this soup? Does it taste fresh when defrosted?

Tastes perfect when defrosted and reheated.

I second that. I make this all the time and often freeze. Comes out perfect. Made for yontiff and literally there was none left
