directions

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan on medium-high. When the oil is heated, add the chopped onion and saute until the onion starts turning light brown. Pay attention that it doesn't burnt.
  • Turn the temperature down to medium or low (depending on how fast your range cooks), and let the onions carmelize to a darker brown.
  • Turn the heat back to medium high, then stir in the garlic, celery, salt and pepper. Stir together to blend the flavors.
  • Add the potatoes and carrots and stir-fry for a few more minutes.
  • Add the broth, zucchini, and dillweed. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
  • Make sure that the cornstarch is dissolved in the cold water, then add to the soup. Raise the heat to medium-high and heat through to thicken the broth a little.
  • Serve topped with grated cheese.

  1. This is a lovely lighter soup. I really dislike dill so I used basil but other than that made as directed. I also like the smaller amount, it's just right for 2 people. Thanks for sharing this :D. Made for Pick A Chef, Spring 2013

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I work full-time outside the house, and I have two school-age kids. <br> <br>I like to cook, and I like having time to cook large meals, especially from other cultures. My family loves Chinese food especially--we eat stir-fry at least twice a week. Greek is second favorite, and I usually do Greek meals a couple of times a month. I also lived in France for several years, so I like to cook French and German foods, too.
