Directions: |
Directions:I use a spiral tool for the zucchini and squash, but dicing or finely chopping are great ways as well to make this. Peel and finely dice the carrots and garlic. In a medium pot, warm up olive oil. Add diced up veggies and seasonings. Let this cook for about 3-5 minutes on medium, then add garlic. Next, add the cream cheese and stir until everything looks combined. Next, add the chicken broth. Mix everything until the cream cheese is fully mixed with the broth. There may still be lumps of cream cheese, but it's a wonderful surprise when you get that bite. If you want the soup a little more creamy, then add the half and half or cream.
This is great by itself or with a grilled cheese sandwich on a cold day. It's super quick to make and tastes even better the next day. |

Notes: My first job was at a local bed and breakfast off the square in Granbury. The owner made everything from scratch and I was quick to learn her recipes and add my own spin over the years. This was one of the popular soups that she made each day, and it's my go-to soup when I'm wanting something quick and delicious to eat.
