Creamy Zucchini Soup Recipe

I have two small box gardens and I always have too much zucchini. I give some away, grill some, and make zucchini bread, but I needed another recipe. I just started going through my pantry and adding stuff to the pot and this is what I  came up with. Everyone in my family really liked it, including my picky daughter.
