Follow The Directions

01

Step
30 mins

Place zucchini in a colander; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt. Let stand to drain, about 30 minutes.

02

Step
5 mins

Meanwhile, combine stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, Roma tomatoes, and water in a blender; blend until smooth.

03

Step
10 mins

Pour tomato mixture and chicken broth into a large stockpot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; stir in sugar and simmer, stirring occasionally.

04

Step
10 mins

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in zucchini, green pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is translucent and zucchini is lightly brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to blender and pulse a few times to chop.

05

Step
50 mins

Transfer zucchini mixture to the stockpot; stir in dill, tarragon, parsley, and lemon juice. Simmer, uncovered, for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer 5 minutes more. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup before adding the Parmesan cheese.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your liking for a brighter, more tangy flavor.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as basil or oregano for a personalized twist.

    I didn't have any fresh tarragon, so I used dried, and it still tasted great. I also added a squeeze of lime juice at the end for a little extra zing.

  • Vincent Mosciski

    I made this soup last night, and it was a hit! Even my kids loved it. I added a little bit of cream at the end to make it extra creamy.

  • Libbie Schamberger

    I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a winner. It's so easy to make, and it's so flavorful. I like to serve it with a crusty bread for dipping.

  • Shanny Fahey

    This soup was amazing! I had so much zucchini from my garden, and this was the perfect way to use it. The fresh herbs really made a difference.

  • Kaycee Runte

    I think that next time I will add a little more lemon juice.

  • Murray Beier

    I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. The soup was so refreshing and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
