Reviews
This was very good. I didn’t have potatoes so left those out but I had lots of asparagus and added those. Didn’t have fresh dill so used 3 TBLS dried. Still good. Liked the dill flavor a lot. Used half chicken and half vegetable broth because that’s what I had. I added too much salt. My bad! Other than that mistake it was very good. Not sure I’d add the cheddar cheese next time. Didn’t seem to add much to the overall goodness of the soup other than extra calories and fat. Thanks for the recipe!!
added left over broccoli
This was a very nice soup. Didn’t have access to the fresh herbs so I used dried.. still very good. I also pureed this and tried it cold.. tasty that way too
I LOVE THIS RECIPE IT TASTES SO GOOD BECAUSE AFTER I ADDED THE BROTH I WAITED 5 MINUTES AND ADDED A PINT OF HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM.I PLANNED TO MAKE ANOTHER RECIPE FOR ZUCCHINI SOUP THAT HAD HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM BUT COULDN’T FIND IT ON MY COMPUTER SO I COMBINED THE 2 RECIPES.
