- This soup is so creamy and silky - it tastes like it's full of cream. But it doesn't have a drop of dairy, except for a little butter, and olive oil can be substituted for the butter to make it vegan. It's also double-duty: it uses up any late-season zucchini or squash that may still be plaguing you. If you are using very mature zucchini, its peel may give this a slightly bitter aftertaste, which we enjoy, but others may not. Peel the zucchini for a sweeter (and paler) soup.
