Once boiling reduce to a simmer and cook about 8 minutes or until zucchini is tender. 5 Turn off heat. 6 If you have an immersion blender use with liquid in pot and puree until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, puree in batches in a regular blender. 7 Mix in salt, pepper and tarragon. Taste. May need to add a little more pepper or salt depending on your preference.

About


You can serve this soup chilled or hot. I prefer serving hot. Try to use fresh tarragon as it really will highlight the flavors. Dried will suffice but won't have as much zazz to it.
