CREAMY COURGETTE (ZUCCHINI) OR CUCUMBER SOUP.



Creamy Courgette (Zucchini) or Cucumber Soup. image

This is actually an old recipe of my mothers & the whole family loves it. I interchange courgettes & cucumbers depending on what's cheapest at the market! Courgettes make a wonderful creamy soup - with only a little actual cream needed & the cucumbers make a very light & refreshing summertime soup. My 2 1/2 year old daughter adores this soup & loves to stand next to me in the kitchen & help make it.

Categories     Onions

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium courgettes or 1 large cucumber
1 large brown onion
2 1/4 liters water
1/2 chicken stock cube, you can use vegetable stock cube instead (I use Maggi)
salt & freshly milled black pepper
1 pinch of schwartz italian seasoning
1/4 cup double cream
basil leaves (to garnish)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons plain flour, & a little water for a thickener (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim the ends off the courgettes / cucumber. Roughly chop along with the onion & gently fry in a large pan with the olive oil.
  • When the vegetables are soft & lightly coloured, add the seasonings, stock cube & the water. Cover & simmer for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, blend until smooth with an immersion blender (stick blender) or in the liquidizer.
  • Check for seasoning, adjust if necessary. If you like the soup thicker, thicken using the flour & water. (Mix the flour with a little cold water, add a few tbsp of the soup to the flour mix, stir well then add to the soup - mix well to avoid any lumps.
  • Remove from the heat & stir in the cream, reserving 4 tbsp for later.
  • Pour the soup into bowls, drizzle a swirl of 1 tbsp cream over each bowl of soup (or a little less if serving 6) & top with a few fresh basil leaves.

ZUCCHINI CUCUMBER SOUP



Zucchini Cucumber Soup image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Blender     Dairy     Onion     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Cucumber     Zucchini     Coriander     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb zucchini, chopped
3/4 lb seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), peeled and chopped (2 cups)
1/3 cup chopped sweet onion such as Vidalia
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon chopped fresh hot green chile
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 cup crme frache (4 oz)

Steps:

  • Purée zucchini, cucumber, onion, vinegar, water, chile, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon coriander in a blender until very smooth.
  • Whisk remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon coriander into crme frache. Serve soup topped with dollops of crme frache.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm zucchini and cucumber. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your soup.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the vegetables thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the vegetables. If you do, they will steam instead of sautéing, which will result in a less flavorful soup.
  • Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add herbs like dill or basil for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot or cold. It's delicious either way!

Conclusion:

Zucchini cucumber soup is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious soup that is perfect for summer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing meal, give this soup a try.
