- 4Increase heat to high and bring the soup to a boil (about 5–7 minutes), then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is fork-tender and the onion is translucent.
- 5Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the fresh lime juice.
- 6Divide the hot soup evenly into 6 airtight containers while still steaming. Allow to cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
- 7When ready to serve, reheat a portion in a pot over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- 8Top each serving with shredded sharp cheddar, tortilla chips, fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh avocado slices.
