Ingredients for Pureed Zucchini Curry Soup:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 pounds zucchini, diced (about 7 cups diced)
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 4 cups BrothMaster Bone Broth plus 1 cup water
- ¼ cup basmati rice
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground pepper
- Pinch of cayenne
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1 small zucchini, sliced paper-thin, use a mandolin if you have one. Toss with salt and, if desired, lemon juice, and marinate for 15 minutes or longer.
- Garlic croutons (optional)
Fresh garnishes not only enhance presentation but also add a refreshing crunch and extra nutrients, making every bowl of this zucchini curry soup more satisfying.
Preparation:
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot. Add the curry powder, stirring just until the curry warms, then add the zucchini and stir for about a minute. Add a generous pinch of salt, the broth, water, and the rice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. The slow simmering process allows the zucchini to release its natural sweetness and ensures that the bone broth infuses every bite with its signature richness.
Carefully Purée the soup with an immersion blender, a food mill or in batches in a blender until creamy. Add more water if you like a thinner soup. Return to the pot, heat through, add pepper and cayenne to taste and stir in the lemon juice. Serve, garnishing each bowl with paper-thin slices of zucchini, chopped chives and croutons if desired. This pureed zucchini soup can be enjoyed hot for a comforting meal or chilled for a refreshing summer dish, making it a versatile option for healthy eating all year round.
