The Perfect Ingredient to Add Creaminess to the Zucchini Soup:

To add a touch of creaminess to this Courgette soup, I used heavy cream. However, If you are not a big fan of heavy cream, you can use creme fraiche or mascarpone as a replacement ingredient.

Can you eat raw Zucchini?

Zucchini Soup Storage:

Properly stored, cooked vegetable soup will last for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Soups that contain milk or heavy cream don't hold up well in the freezer, for this reason, you may want to hold back any dairy if freezing the soup. Simply add the heavy cream when you've reheated the soup over low heat. On average, soups and broths can be kept frozen for 2 to 3 months.
