Categories     Soup

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne (optional)
5 cups zucchini (cut into chunks)
3 cups chicken broth
1 Tablespoon soy sauce ((or Worcestershire sauce))
2 Russet potatoes (equal to 1 pound)
1/2 cup Half and Half (or heavy cream)
1 cup Cheddar Cheese

Steps:

  • Note: There is no need to peel the zucchini for this soup unless yours is jumbo sized, in which case it's possible that the skins are tough and slightly bitter.
  • Shred the cheese from a block for best results. Set aside to allow to come down to room temperature. This will allow it to melt and combine into the soup smoothly.
  • Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  • Add diced zucchini and seasonings: (1/4 tsp each of: dried rosemary, thyme, celery salt, kosher salt, pepper, and an optional pinch of cayenne.) Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cut them into small pieces of equal size so that they cook evenly and quickly.
  • Add diced potatoes, chicken broth, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Skim up any brown foam from the top if needed.
  • Let simmer, partially covered, until the vegetables are very fork tender. About 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches to blend until smooth.

THICK AND EASY ZUCCHINI SOUP



Thick and Easy Zucchini Soup image

This is my spin on a quick, easy, healthy version of zucchini soup a friend of ours served at a party. This is a nice, thick soup -- much like a split pea in consistency. Mediterranean flavor ~ some might say with a kick depending on your spice levels...we like spice so we find this flavorful, but mild. :)

Provided by Michelle Waco

Categories     Other Soups

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6-8 small zucchini, sliced (small-medium size)
1 large onion, chopped (or 2 medium)
16 oz vegetable broth
3 clove garlic
4 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly saute zucchini, onions and garlic in a pan over medium heat.
  • 2. When half way done, add all spices and 1/2 of broth (8oz) and finish cooking until tender, but firm reserving the remaining half of broth to the side.
  • 3. Blend in blender (or with stick /immersion blender), adding additional stock as needed, stopping when you have a thick, split pea consistency. Enjoy!!

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid large zucchini, as they tend to be more watery and less flavorful.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be sure to use the safety guard to protect your fingers.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the zucchini, be sure to work in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the zucchini from browning properly.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the soup will depend on your personal preference. Be sure to taste the soup as you cook it and adjust the seasonings accordingly.

Conclusion:

This thick and easy zucchini soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even breakfast. It is a great way to use up fresh zucchini from your garden or local farmers market. The soup can be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve. It is also a great option for freezing, so you can have a healthy and delicious meal on hand whenever you need it.
