Savoury Summer Soup

When last summer’s zucchini crop ran amok in the garden, this soup was created (along with a stuffed zucchini dish, zucchini pickles, zucchini salad, and a lot of other things until I finally decided to let the squashes grow to the size of watermelons and use them for outdoor footstools). Although it costs little to make (in season), I think this soup belongs in the grande luxe class because of its subtle flavor and opulent texture.
