WOW, the weather has really turned cold here, we normally have pretty mild winters in So Cal, but it’s been 28 degrees at night and pretty chilly during the day.
For someone who barely has a winter coat, as in typically we just need a flannel or light jacket in the winter, trying to figure out how to stay warm without turning the heat up all the time has been fun.
I will mention I do have an electric throw blanket that I hadn’t taken out of the closet for two years, and needed it badly now! That has been a lifesaver, especially while sitting at my desk.
So making soup is now mandatory with all this cold weather.

This soup recipe comes together really quick, you simply grate the zucchini so it doesn’t take long to cook, and there are no big chunks.
Begin by sautéing the onion and butter in a saucepan, then add some flour, which will help thicken the soup. Next, add the zucchini and milk, along with some chicken bouillon, and bring to a boil. Turn the soup on low and then whisk in the cheese.
Since the zucchini is grated, it will cook so quickly, I like the texture of the grated zucchini in the soup. If you prefer your soup super smooth, just use an immersion blender and puree it smooth.
Add some salt and pepper to taste, and if you want to add some other flavor, freshly squeezed lemon is great, so is some crushed red pepper.
There really is nothing better on a cool day than a bowl of hot soup!
