Thai Zucchini-Coconut Soup image

A Southeast Asian-inspired zucchini purée has coconut milk and potato for a velvety texture (and vegan bona fides). It's accented with zucchini slices and zesty cilantro. This soup is quick to make but be sure to allow time for chilling.

Time 6h

Yield About 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (3 to 4 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces, plus slices for serving
1/2 cup sliced shallots (from 2 small)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (from 2 to 3 cloves)
Kosher salt
1 medium russet potato (8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can (13.5 ounces) light coconut milk
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro, plus leaves for serving
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add zucchini, shallots, ginger, garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini softens but has not developed any color, 10 to 12 minutes. Add potato, coconut milk, and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potato is easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Transfer mixture to a blender, working in batches if necessary, and purée until very silky and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or, in an airtight container, up to 3 days. Season with salt; serve topped with zucchini slices and cilantro leaves.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my soup curdled. I'm not sure what happened.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add more broth next time.

I found this soup to be a bit too sweet. I think I'll use less coconut milk next time.

This soup was too spicy for me. I think I'll omit the chili peppers next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I added a bit of lime juice to this soup at the end. It really brightened up the flavors.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers from this recipe. The soup was still plenty flavorful without them.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover zucchini. I had a few zucchinis that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this soup. It was a great way to use them up and it tasted delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut milk, but this soup changed my mind. The coconut milk added a subtle sweetness and creaminess that really complemented the other flavors in the soup.
