Zucchini Soup

Zucchini Soup

1 chopped onion
2 TBS butter
3 cups sliced zucchini
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 cup half and half (I just used 1% milk)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)
1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
4 slices bacon, cooked until crisp then crumbled

In a large saucepan cook onions in melted butter until tender. Add sliced zucchini and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender (about 15 min.) Add salt and pepper. Cool slightly. Pour mixture into blender and puree it. Stir in half-and-half (or milk). Return to saucepan and reheat, but do not boil. Garnish with grated cheese, sour cream and bacon bits. Makes 6 servings.

This is a great way to use your zucchini!! Four of the five members of my family loved it so I figured that was pretty good! I think the green color was just to much for the one who didn't care for it!
