Slow Cooker Creamy Zucchini Soup

If your garden has left you with a mountain of zucchini, this slow cooker creamy zucchini soup is a delicious solution.

While one of our favorite ways to serve zucchini is in noodle form, our families tend to love soup year round. Not sure why, but we even eat chili in the heat of summer.

If you make more than your family wants, you can easily freeze for later. Soups with a milk or cream base will separate during the freezing process, but you can whisk them back to just the right consistency.

Zucchini offers many health benefits, including Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants. It can also reduce blood sugar levels, making this creamy zucchini soup a winner all around.
