Slow Cooker Zucchini Soup Recipe

I have gotten recipes from All recipes almost every week for several years and this is the first review I have done. This is without a doubt the best soup I have ever had. I made it exactly as it was written (I hate it when people review & give stars when they have changes it so much that it is not the same recipe) Anyway, that said I changed nothing. I put some aside for my Mom but it was so good that I ended up eating mine and her's too. My bad. So thank you Jennifer for a wonderful soup recipe.

Oh my gosh, who would believe that such a simple recipe would be so good! I downsized it a little bcs I only had 1 lb of the sweet Italian sausage. So, used one bell pepper (a big one) and a 28 oz plus a 303 can of tomatoes, San Marzano. Used a mix of zucchini and yellow squash. Kept the seasoning as per recipe, and added 2 cups of chicken stock near the finish when I realized there was very little liquid. The parmesan is perfect on it. Tonight I'm making cornbread to go with the leftovers. What my daughter didn't take, that is!

This definitely would not have been a soup, or even a thick soup without added broth. I went with spicy sausage out of preference and made balls that I browned in a bit of olive oil, threw them in the slow cooker, and softened all the other veg and fresh garlic in the drippings before adding them to the sausage. I cut the zucchini more like 5/8" half moons and they were perfect after five hours. Will do again!

Delicious soup!! I used 1 lb regular Italian sausage and a half pound spicy Italian. Other than that, I went by the recipe. Didn't put it in slow cooker though cuz I didn't have 6 hours till supper. Used induction stove and Dutch oven. Filled it to the brim. Cooked for 3 hours at 250 degrees or so.

Just made this yesterday. First it was really delicious. I made some changes,I used 1.5 lbs of the sausage but used the hot italian sausage and 1/2 recipe for the vegetables but full amount for the seasonings. I slow cooked for 6 hours. The liquid from the vegetables was just enough to make it soupy.Very good with parmesan and a roll or any kind of bread.Will make again.

Excellent flavor and great way to use up all the garden veggies and stuff in the fridge. I followed the recipe for the most part. I didn't brown the sausage but rather tossed it in raw, used sweet and hot Sausage both. I also tossed in a carrot, a little chicken stock and chopped garlic instead of powder. (simply because they were in the fridge and would've been thrown away if not used soon- seriously maybe a cup of chicken stock. ) It would be tough to mess up this soup! That's it! I served it with great crusty Italian bread from our local bakery. A Simple Sunday Supper! Makes a huge pot so I will eat it again tomorrow, freeze some, and share some.

It’s seriously delicious! I’ve made this 4 times now, cutting the recipe back a bit because my slow cooker is a bit too small for the full recipe. I chop the zucchini a bit smaller than it is called for, and I use fresh garlic that I sauté with the sausage and celery. I also serve this over pasta. Thank you for such a delicious soup!

I followed the recipe exactly except I used a Ninja Foodi hi pressure for 15 min then natural release. Sooo good and quick

This is the second time - -I have made this soup-so yummy! In my mind it makes way more than 6 servings - fills my crockpot but I am able to freeze it! This time I partially peeled zucchini in strips with peeler as last time I had icky peels floating off the veggie- worked better for me. I had one only large can of diced tomatoes but also a small can of fire roasted ones and a small can with jalapeño. It didn’t make it “hot” but gave a more intense flavor! It gets better the longer it sits . Both time it was super!

This is very tasty! I bought my zucchini before I chose this recipe, so I only had 1.55 pounds, but the balance seems good to me. The Italian sausage I bought comes in 1-lb packages, so I just used 1 pound instead of 1.5 lbs. I put in white beans instead of celery for a texture/protein boost (and because I never have a use for the rest of the celery). I added a few cloves of fresh garlic to this in addition to the garlic powder. Perfect meal to set and forget; I was out for 4-5 hours while it was cooking and it cooked nice and evenly. It doesn't look very soupy at first, but those veggies release a lot of water as they cook.

This is pretty good, not great. I tend to rate things harshly so 3 stars is actually above average. One rec I would have would be to add a little more sausage and onion to give the recipe some variety. Another would be to cook the sausage for like, 3 minutes before adding the celery, but then cook them together for over 10 minutes. It is absolutely vital that the celery is properly softened before putting it in the pot, otherwise, it'll be too crunchy in the finished meal. Plus, you absolutely HAVE to add plenty of parmesan cheese or it sucks. If you have an Instant Pot, make sure you set the slow cook timer to >5 hours.

Delicious. I cut the salt by half to accommodate people's dietary requirements but made no other changes. This made a lot of soup. Served with garlic bread.

Followed the recipe to a tee as well. Was enjoyed by all. Wouldn't change anything. Served with a garlic bread twist.

So much flavor, I’m impressed.

New favorite, hands down.

I make this recipe regularly because it has become one of my very favorite soups. I don't change a thing except that I always forget to cook the celery with the sausage before putting it in the crock pot but it still turns out just fine. I love that it makes its own broth from the all veggies that are in it.

I really liked this! I made zoodles instead of using slices. This turned it into a sort of noodle soup. I printed this out and have it in my kitchen for regular use. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Yummy! I used medium breakfast sausage and it gave it just the right touch!

Very good. We didn't have enough tomatoes so we added an extra cup of chicken broth. Definitely make again. We used the amount of spices it asked for and it was good. Maybe add a can of white beans next time.

Delicious! Left out sausage for vegetarian version & used fire roasted tomatoes. Thank you for sharing!
