Cream of Zucchini Soup

I made Cream of Zucchini soup tonight for dinner. Yummy! I never liked eating zucchini as a kid, and I still don't like it raw on salads, but there are so many good cooked recipes for it!

Recipe from my grandmother:

1 lb zucchini sliced (4 cups)
1/2 c water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp chopped onion
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
dash pepper
2 c milk

Peel, cut out seeds and slice zucchini. Combine w/water, 1/2 tsp salt and sugar. Bring to boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Puree in blender. Cook onion in butter til tender. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Add milk and pureed zucchini. Cook and stir until thickened and boils.

Enjoy!
