CREAMY ZUCCHINI SOUP



Creamy Zucchini Soup image

You don't need loads of cream or even a roux to make a creamy zucchini soup. The natural texture of the zucchini flesh whizzes up beautifully to be a silky, creamy texture. It's well worth the extra few minutes to saute onions until golden for the extra flavour it adds. Topping the soup with a pinch of parmesan is a great finishing touch, otherwise try croutons, finely sliced basil or other herb.

CREAMY ZUKE SOUP RECIPE



Creamy Zuke Soup Recipe image

Provided by á-1375

Number Of Ingredients 10

tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or half as much table salt)
2 pounds of zucchini (around 3 medium), scrubbed, trimmed, quartered lengthwise, and sliced
3/4 pound potatoes (2 fist-sized Yukon Golds), peeled and diced
1 quart chicken or vegetable broth
3/4 cup buttermilk, whole milk, or half and half
freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
herbs or croutons for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-low heat, then sauté the onion with 1/2 teaspoon salt until it's translucent but not browning, around 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, garlic, and potatoes, and sauté for another couple of minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the vegetables are looking a bit less raw. Stir in the broth and raise the heat to bring the soup to a simmer, then turn the heat back down and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender. Turn off the heat and whir the soup with a stick blender to puree it (or else cool it and puree it very carefully in the blender), then add the buttermilk, milk, or cream, the other teaspoon of salt, and a few squeezes of lemon juice, and blend a bit more. Taste and re-season as needed, then serve, garnished with herb sprigs or croutons if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose firm and tender zucchini: For the best texture, select zucchini that are firm and tender. Avoid zucchini that are too soft or have blemishes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just zucchini. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, or potatoes to your soup. This will add flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its texture.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Season to taste: Don't forget to season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices as desired.

Conclusion:

Creamy zucchini soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying soup, give this creamy zucchini soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
