Pam, Luv the hair! Thanks for these "on time" squash recipes! I heard: 4-1/2 to 5 cups of cooked squash, pureed in the blender. Make a Roux, using 2T Ghee & 2T flour Add pureed squash to roux. Stir. Add 1/2 to 1c water to thin, if necessary. Stir. Add 1T granulated or one cube Chicken Bouillon. Stir. Add 1/4t Seasoning Pepper Add 1t Seasoning Salt. Stir. Stir in 1/2c Heavy Cream (or, substitute powdered milk)

I love the flavor of coconut milk. Not a big milk drinker and coconut milk can easily be reconstituted from dry (if you’re putting it into something warm). What a great idea for those of us who don’t keep fluid milk on hand.

Dried in the dehydrator or freeze dryer?
Great! Gotta try this one! My fav zucchini recipe- dip zucchini in a batter. I use one cup flour, one cup cornstarch, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp Italian seasoning,1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp garlic salt. The batter powder I put in a jar - sone of it I mix with ice cold water to make the batter and fry it. Even kids who hate vegetables love this.

I used to fool my son into eating zucchini that way.
Thank you for this recipe. I have 40 zucchini sitting on my kitchen counter needing to be dealt with.
Love your new hairstyle Pam!
I made this soup tonight and it was scrumptious! It didn't even need cream or thickening. I just added a can of chicken broth because I love Campbell's chicken broth for soups and then added some freshly grated parmesan cheese and some grated Colby jack cheese. Another commenter mentioned adding some bacon so I also added about 1/4 cup chopped bacon bits. It was so incredibly creamy pureed in my Vitamix! I plan on making this often during swash season! Thank you for sharing Cindy's recipe with us! I Just love your channel and appreciate all your and Jim's work to teach us all! Also love your hair! It looks so lovely!
Hi! In France we add triangles of laughing cow cheese or vache Kiri. I buy mine at Costco! It’s delicious ❤
Thank you Sisters. I made it today and we love it! So easy. Looks like The freezer will be filled with portioned bags of zucchini and yellow squash this winter. Oh so Yummy!
PAM! I made this soup yesterday and my husband and I were AMAZED at how delicious it is!! I boiled onions (will add celery, bell peppers next time) with the zucchini and added 2 slices of crispy bacon when blending!! SO GOOD! This soup is an excellent base for all kinds of flavors! Going to try taco flavor....maybe add some cheese and ground beef. The ideas just keep coming!
I had an incredible zucchini harvest last year and wanted to do more than grated and powdered to enjoy all year. I made zucchini soup and freeze dried it for delicious winter eating. I wanted it shelf stable so I only put in a splash of cream before FD, but added more when I rehydrated it. I gilded the lily by also adding fresh sweet corn and a touch of feta before FD. Such sweetness, richness, and crunch! Thanks for sharing your recipe :-)
Thank you so much. I have a cold and ive been looking for zucchini recipes❤️
I too had read many yrs ago as to why they pulled squash from being able to pressure can it. But in my lifetime, I've canned thousands, yes thousands of quart jars of yellow squash. I've never seen it moosh together, it stays separate. Now yes, it is extremely tender but the pcs always were separate. My job at home was to can the produce, so my Mom put up 500 qt jars of squash yearly (4 kids and we all liked canned squash). I continue to pressure can squash sometimes, just don't use as much, only 2 in my household. Recipe looks yummy.

Agreed, I have found the same to be true in my canned Veggie Soup with summer squashes. I can just look at them and see that they are not mushy blobs but true chunks of squash that are fully cooked. I will continue to can it this way.
Love your haircut, it makes you look much younger, and very pretty.❤😊
I can see adapting to using dry powdered zucchini and dry milk then using it as a sort of instant cup of soup!
I once read a newspaper article (food section) on NOLA style cooking titled "Youx Toux Can Doux a Roux." 🤣 It may be a little pricey but I swear by Hoosier Hill Farms heavy cream powder. It's a staple for me. It goes a long way and is soooo delicious.

Perfect timing for this recipe, that's for sure!! Thank you so much, can't wait to get going on it. Also, the overhead camera shot is so very helpful when doing cooking segments, so thanks for that Jim!!
I just made this and it is incredible!!! Definitely the best dish with an abundance of zucchini! I pureed the other half (Pam put hers in fridge) & stuck it in the freezer. Easy to make another pot of soup another day. Yummy!!

I use sunflower seeds to replace the ghee and cream, then use the flour to thicken. This works if you are vegan and the sunflower seed has great nutrition. I’m making some today as I have lots of zucchini to use up. Your hair looks quite nice today.

@@Karen-bj7lc I was wondering the same thing. Although we are not vegan, we're really trying to limit our animal protein, especially dairy. Don't know why, but after years of enjoying cheese and dairy, it just started turning on me out of the blue. We have a son who is allergic to dairy and soy so we've learned to do without for somethings, but because he has a very picky palate so I haven't learned much for substituting for recipes, so any input there would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely have to try this! Yum! Just to share a few things I do with Zucchini, I freeze it diced and shredded. I also can it as Zucchini Bread Jam (Ball Recipe) and Mock Pineapple. I’ve also made mock Zucchini Crab Cakes, recipe from That 1870’s Homestead, using shredded Zucchini instead of the crab (it was fantastic). You can also use it to extend sauces by adding Zucchini, which takes on the flavor of anything you put it in. I only had two plants this year, but they really produced great! Love your channel so much!! Thank you!

I have pressure canned zuccini and yellow squash together. I know, it's been removed, but I go for a longer time. I also agree that it gets mushy. But I use it in my squash casserole. Never had a problem.

@@nancyarchibald9095 I pressure can mine in quart jars at sea level, for 40 minutes, plus cool down time. Add 10 minutes per 1000 ft. of elevation. Though I've only done it with fresh, it shouldn't make much difference. Make sure to defrost completely before processing. Dont just take my word for it. Watch Homestead Heart and Wanda at Crazy Dazes, and more canners that do it every year. Good luck and happy canning. Blessings.
Wow! I would've placed that water you added to blended squash in the pan, to the blender and thereby getting all that blended goodness into your soup. 😋
It does look yummy. I must make it this week. Thank you so much, Cindy and Pam.

Thanks for this -- I made it this evening and loved it. Even my husband, who despises summer squash, thoroughly enjoyed the soup.
We make a similar soup without the roux and often without the cream. Different spices and includes onions. Great cold or hot. I have even canned it on occasion.
I love that recipe. My daughter uses a similar recipe for pasta sauce. She cooks down the zucchini sauce a tad bit more and doesn't add the heavy cream. She adds a hefty spoonful of sour cream. The sauce freezes beautifully in serving size portions as well as single size portions of her favorite noodle at the time. She adds some sour cream at the time of use.

This looks good! I’ve dehydrated my zucchini (shreds) to add to soups and savory dishes as well as rehydration for zucchini bread. I will also powder some to add to smoothies.
I make a similar soup with Leek & potato and a little garlic & cheese (optional) yummy to the max
This recipe is completely amazing. I had some zucchini and yellow squash sitting around and I'm tired of making zucchini bread! Even my picky toddler loves this soup!
Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe. I modified it a bit (used some onion water from some onions I blanched to dehydrate, thicken it a bit more). It reminded me of cream of broccoli I make. May have to add a bit of garlic next time. Just a smidge. Have a Blessed Day!

I watched your video making this soup. This is soooo scrumptious! My husband and I inhaled it as well. He was asking for more. I saved some for my mother-in-law. She is a very good cook. When I gave it to her, she kinda of wrinkled her nose. That evening, she called me staying how much she loved this soup and had never eaten (she is 85) zucchini soup before. Thank you Pam and Cindy.
Did not really think about using it as a soup. Tried it and is very good, THANKS! I tried it with the cooked zucchini and Knorr chicken cube. Good just like that, then added half & half. Still good. Added cheese on top with sour cream, Yep Good. Going to try to dry some zucchini to put back for this.
Don’t forget slicing zucchini, dipping it in a bit diluted egg mix, then into ground Parmesan. This doesn’t use up as many zucchini’s but most people esp children love these chips. Good on camping trips. I will definitely be making this soup. Sounds good! Thank you!
