A Soupy and Savory Summer, The Recipe



This is about as easy and delicious of a soup that you will ever find in the vast pages of the interweb. Simple and accentuated with the flavor of curry and the bite of sour cream, it is a perfect summer dish.

Jeanne Hodesh's Simple Zucchini Soup
5 medium sized zucchini
3/4 cup water
1 vegetable bullion cube
1 T curry powder
1/2 cup sour cream (or creme fraiche)

Cut zucchini into 1" discs. Place in pan with water and bullion and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and add curry powder. Cook zucchini until it almost has a melted texture - about 20 minutes.

Once zucchini is sufficiently cooked, dump contents into a blender (or use a hand blender) to puree until smooth. Return soup to pan and add 1/2 cup sour cream. Over a low flame, heat until warm. Do not bring back to a boil.

May be served hot or cold (if serving cold, do not reheat soup after adding the dairy).

Digg!
