Healthy Zucchini Soup Recipes

ZUCCHINI SOUP

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.

ZUCCHINI SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium high heat in a large heavy Dutch oven. Add onion and salt and cook, stirring often until the onions are starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add in garlic, and cook, stirring until fragrant but not burning, about 1 minute.
• Add in white wine, increase heat to high and bring to a simmer. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 90 seconds. Add in broth and sliced zucchini, cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally until the zucchini is very tender, about 8 to 10minutes.
• Transfer half of the soup to a large blender. Use caution when blending hot liquids! Puree until creamy and smooth, about 20 seconds. Transfer to another pot or bowl. Repeat by pureeing the remaining zucchini mixture. Alternatively puree with an immersion blender.
• Whisk yogurt into the zucchini soup along with 1 tablespoon dill and basil.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and finely diced zucchini and cook, stirring often until the zucchini and corn is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in scallion, and remove the skillet from the heat.
