SPICY ZUCCHINI SOUP



Spicy Zucchini Soup image

Mild red chili powder and pan-browned garlic give flavor to this simple vegetable soup. Quick to make, it's ideal for a light lunch! For a variation, instead of rice use rice-shaped pasta, such as orzo or semone de melone, or very thin pasta known as fideo. Or, use yellow summer squash instead of zucchini and add cooked pinto beans in place of the rice. Diced tomatoes also make a tasty addition!

SPICY ZUCCHINI SOUP RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Spicy Zucchini Soup Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by junerodgers

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 jalapeno chile (or more to taste, depending on how spicy you would like the soup to be), seeds, stems and ribs removed and discarded, chopped
3 chopped garlic cloves
2 pounds chopped zucchini (skin on), about 5-6 cups
1 1/2 cups chopped day-old bread
3 cups chicken broth (use vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
1 cup water
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves (spearmint), loosely packed, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed, chopped (optional)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • If you are using extra large zucchini, scoop out and discard the seeds first. And if the skin is thick or tough, peel it and discard the peels. 1 Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and jalapeno chile and sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent, but not browned. Add the garlic and zucchini and sauté for another 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle with salt. 2 Add the bread, broth, and water, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes. 3 Remove from heat. Add the mint and cilantro (if using). Purée in a blender or food processor until smooth, working in batches if necessary. Or use an immersion blender. 4 Return the soup to the pot. Add the lemon juice, and salt, and pepper to taste. Garnish with lemon wedges and sprigs of mint or cilantro. Serve hot or chilled. Keeps for a week in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, firm zucchini: Choose zucchini that are deep green in color and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are yellow or have soft spots.
  • Roast the zucchini before adding it to the soup: Roasting the zucchini intensifies its flavor and gives the soup a smoky depth of flavor. Be sure to roast the zucchini until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Add some heat with chili peppers or cayenne pepper: If you like spicy soup, add some chili peppers or cayenne pepper to taste. Be sure to start with a small amount and add more to taste, as you can always add more heat but you can't take it away.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, add a pop of freshness and flavor to the soup. A dollop of sour cream adds a creamy richness that complements the spicy flavors of the soup.

Conclusion:

This spicy zucchini soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The roasted zucchini gives the soup a smoky depth of flavor, while the chili peppers add a spicy kick. This soup is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or a salad for a complete meal.
