Take-out Tuesday, Zuccorny Soup
Soup in the summertime??
This is not only a light and healthy meal,
it’s full of fresh summer corn and zucchini
One of my favorite restaurants features a wonderful corn soup in the summer, and I always order it, so when I saw a recipe for Zucchini Corn Chowder at Damn Delicious, I couldn’t wait to try it!
We eat zucchini year round and I swear I could eat fresh corn every day
If you want some easy methods for cooking and shucking corn click here
The prep is simple, saute celery and onions, and coat with a little flour
Add milk and broth
Stir in corn, zucchini and seasonings
Simmer for an hour and blend
Immersion blenders make this a cinch, blend as much or as little as you like
Serve with a generous sprinkle of your favorite cheese
I was totally out of green onions that I wanted to use for garnish 😱 but a snippet of parsley or any fresh herbs would be lovely too…
Or a little crumbled bacon 🥓
If you want to make this a hearty soup, add some cooked chopped ham, chicken, or even pasta like tortellini or ravioli
