    Looks delicious. I have just got back from a farm (where one picks up ones own veg) with bunch of zuccs. I just need the dill to try it.

    I made this tonight and it was a huge hit. Great summer soup. A friend said he felt refreshed after finished it. I used two zucchinis to make six adult servings (small bowls). I puréed it and added only a tiny bit of dill.

      Hey Zoe: Suanne and I was out walking in the park today when we saw your tweet about making the Zucchini and Dill Soup. I was saying to Suanne that I never get to taste it and she goes on and tell me she knows my cup of tea and that I will never like it. LOL! Glad you liked it … am sure it will make Suanne happy that people actually uses the recipes posted on this blog. Ben

    I made the soup for dinner tonight and it was really great! It’s a light soup that has some body to it which I like. When I first saw the recipe, I thought, great–a soup with my favourite vegetable–zucchini! Pureeing it, is a great idea and something I will try the next time I make it. Chilling it afterward would make for a really refreshing and summery soup. I also plan to squeeze in some lemon for a nice fresh kick.

    Add sour cream mixed with some wondra flour and a tbs. white vinegar to finish this off. It is called Hungarian Tokleves.
