Preparation Steps
  1. Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat until bubbly and golden, about 2 minutes.
  2. Sauté the diced onion for about 5 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and cook for an additional 60 seconds.
  3. Stir in fresh chopped zucchini, rosemary, thyme, oregano, celery salt, salt, pepper, and cayenne, cooking for 5 minutes until zucchini softens.
  4. Add diced russet potatoes, chicken broth, and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  5. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth, or use a potato masher for a chunkier texture.
  6. On low heat, stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
  7. Serve warm in bowls, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or cheese.
