Zesty Zucchini Zoup

This is a guest blog from my mother's home in Nanaimo BC, Canada.  There are massive amounts of fresh zucchini and soups are her specialty, so here's one of her best creations.

Sautee in a large soup pot:

2 tablespoons butter
one medium onion chopped
one small potato peeled and chopped
2 medium or 1 large zucchini sliced

Add vegetable stock or water to cover and season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

Simmer until vegetables are soft.  Place in a blender with 2-3 oz. cream cheese and blend until smooth.  You may need to blend in two batches.  Serve hot with croutons.
