    Curry Zucchini Soup combines the zest of curry powder with the freshness of zucchini inviting you to flavor town

    Behind the scenes of Curry Zucchini Soup

    In the summer months, you will always find some zucchini growing in my garden. As you may know, zucchini can grow like wildfire. When it does, make this lovely easy delicious Curry Zucchini Soup. This soup can be made using either smaller, not yet gigantic zucchini, or even when that squash looks like Godzilla. When it gets giant-sized, use only the outside, not the seedy middle. 

    Make it Vegetarian

    While I use chicken stock in my recipe, Curry Zucchini Soup can easily be made vegetarian by using vegetable stock in its place. To mimic the cream add a peeled and diced russet potato. The potato will provide thickness and texture to the soup.

    A Word about Curry Powder

    Curry powder can run from being slightly sweet to being very hot. While the word Curry powder is English in origin, the spices are definitely derived from Indian foods and may include cumin, cardamom, coriander, turmeric, dry mustard, and cayenne pepper. Some may include ginger so if your powder has ginger you could omit that in the recipe. I like it towards the "warm" side, so often times I will add an additional dash of cayenne. Many specialty stores create their own blends, many of which have lemon or another element. If you find one you like, I say stick to it. Otherwise, consider making your own special blend. 

    This soup makes a great light lunch or first course.

    Hi, I'm Lindy.

    I am a home-trained chef who loves to cook and eat delicious food. As I like to say, "Life is too short to eat mediocre food". And I find too much food out there is mediocre. I don't think good food needs to be fussy, or difficult to prepare. Most of my recipes are fresh, quick, easy, and tasty while keeping both calories and fats in check.
