Cream of Zucchini Soup with Dill

This super easy creamy soup is a delicious way to eat abundant zucchini, even for those who don’t like it!

I’m a terrible food blogger. I made this soup a while ago but didn’t write down how much of what I used (because I was going to remember, ha!) and then we went on holiday…and now it’s past dill season. But it will be dill season again, and you’ll have pinned this recipe to try then, right?

My mother in law makes this soup fairly often in the summer. Every year she claims she’s not going to plant as much zuchinni as last year, and every year she does.

I love sauted zucchini, but my kids aren’t big fans of slices of zucchini. Slices in soup? Forget it. But they like zucchini as ‘noodles’ (like for Chicken Paprikas or Creamy (dairy free) Eggplant Chicken Sauce) or lasagne (like Zucchini Pizza Frittata) or grated.

And for this soup, the zucchini is grated. The creaminess makes it cozy, the dill gives it a fresh lift.
