Creamy Dairyfree Zucchini Soup for #SundaySupper {#vegan}

Happy Sunday and welcome to the #SundaySupper Squash Fest - today we feature every type of squash imaginable.  Summer squash - winter squash and this fantastic event is hosted by Alice of A Mama, Baby & Shar-pei in the Kitchen and Christy of Confessions of a Culinary Diva.  Thank you so much for having us today!

Now let's talk about squash; its zucchini in the summer for us {sadly not enough this year} as in zucchini fritters, stuffed zucchini, or added to pasta ~ grilled summer squash and in the fall and winter Acorn, Butternut, Pumpkin…..

In our house we also like soups - yes, any time of year summer or winter we are a "soupy" family and any type of squash is perfect in .  So today I am bringing a Creamy Dairyfree Zucchini Soup to the party.  It is delicious, filling, quick and oh so good.


Creamy Dairyfree Zucchini Soup
  • 1 TB Olive Oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 C diced peeled potatoes
  • 4 C diced zucchini{unpeeled}
  • 2 C water
  • 2 TB Italian parsley, minced
  • 1/4 C Tofutti Sour Cream
  • 1 TB lemon juice {or more to taste}
  • fresh ground pepper & salt to taste
  • 3 sliced sun dried tomatoes for garnish
  1. Gently heat olive oil in a stock pot
  2. When hot add onion, garlic, carrot and salt. Saute until onions turn translucent, and have softened.
  3. Add potatoes, zucchini, parsley, and water.  Give it a good stir, bring it to a low simmer and simmer with lid closed for about 25 minutes or until vegetables are soft. 
  4. Blend soup using an immersion blender {be very careful that you do not burn yourself as the liquid is very hot and will splatter}
  5. Stir in Sour "Cream" of your choosing, add lemon juice as well as salt and pepper to taste
  6. Ladle into soup bowls and top each bowl with sliced sun dried tomatoes.
Enjoy!
