CREAMY ZUCCHINI SOUP



Creamy Zucchini Soup image

You don't need loads of cream or even a roux to make a creamy zucchini soup. The natural texture of the zucchini flesh whizzes up beautifully to be a silky, creamy texture. It's well worth the extra few minutes to saute onions until golden for the extra flavour it adds. Topping the soup with a pinch of parmesan is a great finishing touch, otherwise try croutons, finely sliced basil or other herb.

CREAMY SWEET POTATO ZUCCHINI SOUP



Creamy Sweet Potato Zucchini Soup image

This delicious soup is an easy way to disguise zucchini from picky eaters. It's nearly impossible to distinguish the zucchini from the sweet potato, and it gives the soup a beautiful, creamy texture. I discovered this soup in an attempt to use up zucchinis from my garden and sneak it into the soup without my zucchini-hating husband figuring out the deception. It worked! He loves the soup.

CREAM OF BROCCOLI, SWEET POTATO, AND ZUCCHINI SOUP



Cream of Broccoli, Sweet Potato, and Zucchini Soup image

This is a lovely creamed soup, thick with veggies and flavor. It is something to serve company with a loaf of homemade bread and a salad. A country inn near us serves a soup similar to this, and has for years attracted people with it. This is the closest to it that I can get. Sometimes I think that this is better. I think the unique flavor is the cumin. It is delicious.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup chopped onion
1 small head of broccoli (separated)
1 sweet potato (chopped)
1 medium zucchini (diced)
6 cups chicken broth
3 teaspoons Cremora
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 pinch nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
3/4 cup instant instant potato flakes
1 cup cream

Steps:

  • Note before you start; the basil, tarragon, and cumin are added to taste--keep tasing till you get it the way you want it.
  • Break up the broccoli into flowerettes and simmer alone in another pan; set aside.
  • Cover the bottom of a large pot with butter and saute onions till golden, but not brown.
  • Add the sweet potato and zucchini.
  • Stir till veggies are hot and then cover with the chicken stock.
  • Put a colander down into the pot of liquid so that the liquid is up through the holes.
  • Measure the stock because this determines how much Creamora to put in (1 teaspoon of Creamora to 1 cup of liquid) and with a whisk, whisk in the Cremora.
  • Add the celery seed, nutmeg, basil, tarragon, cumin, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Add the Potato Buds to the colander whisking all the time till it is thick.
  • Then gently take out the colaner and stir. You can use more or less depending on the thickness that you like.
  • Add the cream for extra richness (or a small can of evaporated milk would also do).
  • Then add the broccoli using as much as you like.
  • Do not boil this soup.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use sweet potatoes with a deep orange color, as they are sweeter and have a more flavorful taste.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a slightly smoky taste.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and has a rich taste.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be cooked until the vegetables are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
