Curried Zucchini Soup image

From Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special (1999). One of my favorite soups for any time of year but would be a great way to use up too much zucchini during the summer. I use a good curry powder from Penzey's and sometimes replace up to 1/2 teaspoon with a hot curry blend for more heat. I also sometimes replace half the potatoes with sweet potatoes. Could use chicken stock for a non-veggie option. Serve hot or chilled.

Time 50m

Yield 8 1/2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups diced onions
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 1/2 cups water (or stock)
2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
5 cups zucchini, cubed
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon salt (less if using stock)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup milk
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
plain yogurt
scallions or chives, minced

Steps:

  • In a covered soup pot on medium heat, saute onions in oil until translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Add garlic, ginger and curry powder. Saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning the garlic and spice.
  • Add water or stock, potatoes, zucchini and salt. It will look like not enough liquid, don't worry. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer covered for 10 minutes.
  • Add cilantro. Simmer until vegetables are very tender, 5-10 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in milk, yogurt and vinegar.
  • Puree until very smooth using an immersion blender, regular blender (in batches) or food processor (in batches).
  • Reheat gently or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a chilled soup.
  • Garnish with a dollop of yogurt and sprinkled fresh herbs.

I love this soup! It's so creamy and flavorful. I've made it several times and it's always a hit with my family and friends.

This soup is a great way to use up summer zucchini. It's light and flavorful, and the curry adds a nice touch of warmth. I'll definitely be making this again.

Just made this soup and it's amazing! The curry flavor is not overpowering, and the zucchini is cooked perfectly. I served it with a side of naan bread and it was a perfect meal.

Easy to make and delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. The soup was a hit with my family, and I'll definitely be making it again.

This curried zucchini soup was a delightful surprise! The flavors of the curry and zucchini blended perfectly, creating a creamy and flavorful soup. I added a bit of extra spice with some cayenne pepper, and it turned out perfect. Will definitely be
