Thai Zucchini-Coconut Soup image

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.

Time 6h

Yield About 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (3 to 4 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces, plus slices for serving
1/2 cup sliced shallots (from 2 small)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (from 2 to 3 cloves)
Kosher salt
1 medium russet potato (8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can (13.5 ounces) light coconut milk
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro, plus leaves for serving
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

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.
