Grandma Joycie's Zucchini Soup

Don't let the blah color fool you. This soup is inexpensive, freezes well, and goes along great with a BLT or as a first course for a fine meal!

INGREDIENTS:
4-6 slices bacon, chopped (use gluten free for a GF meal)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 1/2-3 1/2 cups of water
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
6-8 medium zucchini, sliced
1 16 oz. container sour cream*

DIRECTIONS: Cook bacon in large pot until light brown. Add onion and garlic, saute lightly in grease. Add remaining ingredients except sour cream. Simmer, uncovered, until zucchini is tender, about 15 minutes. Cool about 15 minutes and blend 2 cups at a time. Return to pot. Mix in sour cream* and reheat. Serve warm. Serves 4

NOTE* I opted to double the recipe and freeze half. In the event that you would like to do the same, refrain from adding the sour cream until you are ready to serve it.
