    Cold Zucchini and Corn Chowder FAQs

    How can I make my soup thicker?

    If you’d like to give the soup a thicker base, you can scoop out 2 cups of the solid ingredients and puree them in a food processor, or simply insert an immersion blender into the soup pot and puree a portion of the soup. You can skip this step if you’d like to keep the soup brothy.

    How long does this soup last?

    This soup will last in the fridge for up to 1 week. Keep it stored in an airtight container. This soup is best served cold, so feel free to make it a day ahead of when it’s needed.
