THAI ZUCCHINI-COCONUT SOUP
A Southeast Asian-inspired zucchini purée has coconut milk and potato for a velvety texture (and vegan bona fides). It's accented with zucchini slices and zesty cilantro. This soup is quick to make but be sure to allow time for chilling.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add zucchini, shallots, ginger, garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini softens but has not developed any color, 10 to 12 minutes. Add potato, coconut milk, and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potato is easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Transfer mixture to a blender, working in batches if necessary, and purée until very silky and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or, in an airtight container, up to 3 days. Season with salt; serve topped with zucchini slices and cilantro leaves.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh zucchini, coconut milk, and herbs will give your soup the best flavor. The key ingredient in this soup is zucchini. Try to find small, tender zucchini. If your zucchini's are large, remove the seeds and cut them into smaller pieces so they are all about the same size.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a small pot, cook the soup in batches. This will prevent the zucchini from getting mushy.
- Season to taste: Start with the amount of curry paste called for in the recipe then add more to taste if you like. You can also add more lime juice, fish sauce, or coconut milk to adjust the flavor.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious served with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also top it with cilantro, basil, or peanuts.
