- Add the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer until the zucchini is soft and cooked.

Notes
- Make It Dairy-Free: You can easily make this soup dairy-free by using canned unsweetened coconut cream or canned unsweetened full fat coconut milk instead of the heavy cream. This is equally delicious and works great. You can then serve it with a dairy-free parmesan cheese or omit the parmesan altogether.
- Storing: This soup keeps very well in the fridge for 3-4 days and can be reheated bowl by bowl in the microwave or all at once on the stovetop.
- Freezing: This soup freezes very well but if you know you'd like to freeze it then rather omit the cream and then just add cream to individual bowls and stir it in.
- Nutritional information is for the soup only and excludes the toppings like parmesan cheese and anything else that you may serve it with.
