Photo: Curried Zucchini Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup chopped yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pinch cayenne
- 2 pounds zucchini, trimmed and chopped
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Chopped cilantro, garnish
- Fried pappadums, or toasted pita triangles, accompaniment
Directions
In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the curry powder, salt, and cayenne, stir, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the zucchini, reduce to medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the zucchini is very tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat. With a hand-held immersion blender, or in batches in a food processor, puree the soup. Return to medium heat and stir in the cream. Simmer for 3 minutes. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.
Pour into a clean container and let cool slightly. Refrigerate until well chilled, 4 to 6 hours.
To serve, ladle into large cups, garnish with cilantro, and serve with hot pappadums or pita toast. This soup may be served hot or cold.

I think it is a different, but good soup. I put mine over pasta and it was great. However, if you do not like spice (and it is really not that spicy - just cut down cayenne pepper and bold flavor, you will not like this soup.

Nice light soup and pretty simple to make! Might try adding less cream + some greek yogurt next time just to make it lower fat. Definately prefer this cold!

This is a very easy recipe that you could use for any vegetable. You can basically guess on the measurements. I added more onion and garlic and almost no cream. I used about a half a cup of cream and some 1% milk and it was great. you don't need a full half cup. I also added a yellow squash with my zucchini just because its what my hubby bought at the store....very yummy and healthy! It tasted good cold but preferred it hot. I am not really a curry fan but I loved the flavors in this. I also added more hot pepper cuz I like the heat ....like I said you don't need to measure the ingrediants just throw it all in to your taste!
