The soup is tenderness itself. You can make this kind of soup from zucchini, a little differently, but still delicious.

Zucchini soup is a great lunch option. It is prepared simply and quite quickly. I immediately took double the ingredients so that there would definitely be enough soup for the family. When frying carrots, instead of fresh celery, I added dried (two tablespoons) and a little water so that the celery did not stick to the pan. I added two tomatoes (for eight servings). But they were quite large, so the soup took on a tomato flavor. This taste didn't bother me at all. But my son and daughter were alarmed by this taste (they don’t like tomatoes in ready-made food, only fresh ones). Although, in principle, they finished the soup and said that they liked it. I conclude that I should have put either one large tomato or two small ones. The only spices I used were pepper and salt. I didn't have cumin. The zucchini puree soup itself is light, but at the same time satisfying. It has a pleasant and delicate taste. And it is also very fragrant. Thank you very much for the recipe!
