Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 2 potatoes medium sized, peeled and chopped
  • 2 zucchini medium sized, chopped (approximately 6 cups, chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup milk (can omit or replace with nondairy milk for vegan recipe)
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded (can omit for vegan recipe)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the onion and saute for a few minutes to soften.
  • Add the potatoes, zucchini, broth, herbs and paprika to the pot. Increase temperature to high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Let the soup simmer on the stove for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Let the soup cool.
  • Once cooled, add the soup to a food processor or a blender (do this in batches if using a blender), and puree until smooth.
  • Return the pureed soup to the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Add the milk and cheese and remove from heat, stirring until the cheese is melted. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve.
