I made too many changes to this recipe to fairly review, but my results were fantastic. I swapped yellow onions out for leeks, added a diced jalapeno along with the garlic, omitted cayanne pepper, added a teaspoon of chicken bouillon, and used a can of full fat coconut milk instead of dairy milk and cream.
I’ve made this twice exactly according to the recipe and it’s delicious! Make sure not to overcook the zucchini; crispy bacon is a great complement to the zucchini, potatoes, and corn. The quarter teaspoon of cayenne gives just enough of a kick.
