How to Make
-
Step 1: Soup Base ... Add the zucchini, onion, garlic, bacon, chicken broth, all purpose seasoning, and red pepper flakes to a large pot and bring to broil. Reduce immediately to a low simmer and cook approximately 20-30 minutes until tender.
-
Step 2: Blend ... I use a stick or immersion blender, however you can use a blender as well. Note: is using a blender, make sure to puree this in batches.
-
Step 3: Finish ... Once the soup is blended smooth (blend it to the consistency you like), add the cream, scallions, pepper and heat everything through.
-
Step 4: Serve ... Squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over your soup and garnish with sour cream and fresh chives. ENJOY!
