curry zucchini soup
Mom’s Curry Zucchini Soup:
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 7 large zucchini cut into chunks
- 1 quart of chicken stock
- 1 cup of heavy cream (i use half & half)
- 1/4 cup of melted butter mixed thoroughly with 1/4 cup of flour
In a large pot, (one that’s JUST PERFECT for soup) Sautee onion in olive oil until transparent. Add Thyme and zucchini. Cook Until soft. Add curry powder, cream & stock. Bring to a boil. Add butter & flour mixture. Reduce heat and simmer soup for 15 minutes. Puree soup in blender or use an immersion blender.***sometimes I add a pinch of cayenne pepper to this & some garlic powder. It’s the perfect fall/winter soup. My mom always makes it special on Christmas Eve. We look forward to it year after year. In the soup pictured above, I used whole milk instead of Half & Half. It tastes just fine that way. Serve with some crusty/cheesy bread or top with some bits of bacon and you have yourself a wonderfully hearty meal. ***

this looks wonderful :) i might try to veganize this! i can replace the milk & butter just fine, but i wonder if veggie broth would work instead of chicken?

kristen: I think veggie broth would be just fine!

Yum, this looks delicious! I have to ask though, if you had to take the dairy out (my bf is lactose intolerant) - what would you put in instead? A potato? Celery root?

melisser- you should! lemme know how it turns out
radish- I’d put a potato in for sure. Or you might wanna try coconut milk! (my vegan friend erin suggests that) … The best part is the creamy consistency. But the potato might do the trick Or have fun and add both!
