8 1/2 cups
- Serves:
- 4-6
ingredients
- 2 cups diced onions
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 1⁄2 cups water (or stock)
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 5 cups zucchini, cubed
- 1 - 1 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (less if using stock)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 3⁄4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- plain yogurt
- scallions or chives, minced
directions
- In a covered soup pot on medium heat, saute onions in oil until translucent, about 10 minutes.
- Add garlic, ginger and curry powder. Saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning the garlic and spice.
- Add water or stock, potatoes, zucchini and salt. It will look like not enough liquid, don't worry. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer covered for 10 minutes.
- Add cilantro. Simmer until vegetables are very tender, 5-10 minutes more.
- Remove from heat. Stir in milk, yogurt and vinegar.
- Puree until very smooth using an immersion blender, regular blender (in batches) or food processor (in batches).
- Reheat gently or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a chilled soup.
- Garnish with a dollop of yogurt and sprinkled fresh herbs.

<p>Love Indian food but can't cook it, although I keep trying. Love middle eastern food too. Also like French, Southwestern, and homey but simple styles of good food. <br /> <br />I am trying to eat more vegetables, but not necessarily a vegetarian, maybe a flexatarian. I have fun making bean dishes from dried beans, and making my own yogurt. <br /> <br />I would like to grow my own veggies, but don't have enough sun in the yard. I like farmer's markets, and shop at the local co-op. <br /> <br />I try to make a batch of soup each week, and use homemade stock a lot. <br /> <br />I enjoy reading cookbooks straight through, and like preparing entire meals that are designed to go together.</p>
