Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup chopped leek (white and pale green parts only; about 1 medium)
1 teaspoon (scant) coriander seeds
1 1/4pounds yellow crookneck squash, coarsely chopped
1 (14-ounce) can vegetable broth
1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add leek and coriander and cook until almost tender, stirring often, about 6 minutes. Add squash; sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté until squash begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add broth. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Transfer to bowl and chill uncovered until cold, about 3 hours. Season with salt.
  • Whisk crème fraîche and grated lemon peel in small bowl. Divide soup among bowls, drizzle with lemon crème fraîche, and serve.

I found that the soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I added a little bit of water to thin it out and it was perfect.

I'm not a big fan of coriander, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the coriander.
