Curry Zucchini Soup
Print This Recipe- 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. ***

beautiful!! thanks for the recipe!
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!
Mmm, I need to make a variation of this!
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!
This looks great, definitely going to try to make it. Thanks for sharing : )
This sounds absolutely gorgeous! I'm going to make a big batch of it to have when NaNoWriMo starts up (and I won't have time to cook)!
