Curried Zucchini Soup

Submitted by Lalaloula

"This is a lovely, spicy soup, which is sure to warm you through on a chilly day. I luv its hot flavour, which does not overpower the zucchini. My sis and me came up with this recipe when I could only eat soup due to having my wisdom teeth pulled. I hope youll enjoy it as much as we did! Feel free to sub any other squash for the zucchini and adjust the spices to your liking."

We just had this for lunch with toasted organic sourdough bread and enjoyed it very much thanks Loula. I tasted this and decided it was quite "warm" enough without adding any chilli powder (my curry powder already contains it). I gave it a rough blend, THEN added in the finely sliced scallions and reheated it all gently-this way they stayed nice and green. I served this with minted yoghurt and even if I had no yoghurt, I would serve this with mint as it really lifted the soup and gave it something extra.

We really enjoyed this soup. The only change was to use a leek in lieu of the scallions. The recipe made quite a bit more than 4 servings. The soup was served with cheese toast for a wonderful dinner. I look forward to leftovers throughout the week.

This is good. DD (toddler) loved it!!! I had to use canola oil because it's all I had! :| I used an extra garlic clove and Recipe #104344, which is a sweet curry powder. I added the spices to taste. I used a homemade vegetable stock for the vegetable broth.

Yummy in my tummy! There wasn't an ingredient in the recipe that I don't love. Perfect little soup that I'll be making a whole lot. I added the chili powder, but I don't really know how much as I was adding as I was tasting it. I didn't need more broth and the quantities were great for me. Thanks loula.
