Why Choose Curried Zucchini Soup?

Curried zucchini soup is a delightful blend of fresh zucchini, aromatic spices, and a creamy texture that warms the soul. The spices used in curry powder, such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, add depth and warmth, while the zucchini brings a subtle sweetness and a velvety consistency. This soup is also incredibly nutritious, offering a good dose of vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber.

To whip up this flavorful soup, you’ll need:

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

Flour to thicken: Add flour and stir into buttr and aromatics until all flour is incorporated. Stir and allow flour to cook for 1 to 2 minutes. 

Add the Zucchini: Toss in the chopped zucchini and stir well to coat with the spices.

Simmer: Pour in the broth, stirring well until all spices/flour incorporated. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.*

Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from heat and carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the soup to a blender in batches, blending until creamy.

Finish with Half N’ Half or Cream: Stir in the dairy of choice and season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a bit more broth.

Variations on Curried Zucchini Soup

Feel free to “sneak” in any other veggies during step 4 and simmer with the zucchini before blending. Of course, I love to add Superfood greens (microgreens), spinach, broccoli or kale.

Don’t be afraid to customize your curried zucchini soup to suit your taste. Add a splash of lime juice for a zesty kick or toss in other vegetables like carrots or potatoes for added texture. For a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

What goes better with soup than delightful homemade bread! I got you. . .from sourdough to traditional, try one of our favorites.
