Cream of zucchini

The cream of zucchini soup from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook is scrumptious. Even if you leave out the rice. (If you're looking for the recipe, they think it's "bisque". NO SEAFOOD ANYWHERE NEAR ME KTHXBYE.)

I'm thinking it would be just as good with asparagus instead of zucchini. There's still good asparagus to be had. Mmmmmmm. In fact, because I was thinking exactly that after I tasted the soup and while I was ladling it into storage containers, I labeled all the storage containers "asparagus soup"! Oh well. I know what I meant.

In other news, I still adore my stick blender.
