A smooth, creamy and very savory soup
Ingredients
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion (diced)
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp chili powder
4 small zucchinis (chopped into 1" cubes)
2 Cups vegetable stock
1 Cup sour cream (optional)
Sea salt to taste
Preparation
Heat the oil in a large pot.
Stir in onion, curry powder, chili powder and salt.
Cook and stir until onion is tender.
Stir in zucchini and cook until tender (about 5 minutes).
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
Blend with a hand blender until smooth (1 to 2 minutes).
Add a dollop of sour cream to each bowl when serving (optional).
When in season, you can use 1 extra large zucchini instead of 4 small ones, but you must peel it and remove the seeds.
If using a standing blender, cool soup before transferring, then re-heat to serve. The soup may stain a plastic hand mixer, but it is the easiest way to puree it.
Garnish with a swirl of sour cream, and/or a sprig of parsley.
For a vegan option, use the Vegan Cashew Sour Cream recipe.
Serves 6.
