Where are these clear threads less than an inch (they look like very soft, very thin,small fish bones), coming from?

It was made from:

Onion, Garlic, Zucchini, Potato and Spices.

If I'd have put in celery Id have thought its celery.

I made it myself with the ingredients listed above, and its delicious but the threads are "strange" and Im trying to figure out where theyre from.

How did you cut the onions before sauteeing them? How did you puree the soup?

If you cut into a bad zucchini, the inner flesh may be stringy and filled with large seeds.

I cut the zuchinni into cubes before sauteeing and didnt see anything unusual.

Sorry to say if I didn't know what it was I'd throw it out for fear of something buggy or otherwise not okay and unusual.

Because really, like you and most of us, I've often cooked with all those things and never seen that so would think it was something not okay and out of the ordinary.

Sometimes zucchini cooked for so long breaks down in a way that could be considered stringy, I guess.

My other thought would be that it could the membrane layer of the onions.

I make zucchini soup often and have never seen that before.

OP here.

I rarely make blended soups.

It must be the fibrous part of the onion because I made butternut squash soup in a totally clean pot, with totally new ingredients, no zuchinni this time, and I saw and tasted a few pieces of the same.

The same thing happened to me once when I made a vegetable soup. I'm pretty sure it was pieces of onion that were shredded instead of completed blended with the immersion blender

Its weird that all the pieces I tasted and saw were thread-thin.

You're not blending the soup enough. Puree until everything is silky. If you're using an immersion blender you need to keep moving the stick and vigorously blending.

Possibly. Theres not that many pieces like that in the pot, but I cant see how these pieces that look almost like toothbrush bristles, but slightly longer, would ever get blended.

If I hadnt made the soup myself, Id think someone dropped something into both soups, by mistake.
