Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 2 pounds) zucchini
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon (grated) ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons curry powder
• 4 cups (low-sodium) vegetable broth
• 1 cup (full-fat or light) coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon (plus more to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro
• 1 whole (for juice and garnish) lime

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut them into medium-sized chunks. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the curry powder and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release the spices' aroma.

Step 7

Add the zucchini chunks to the pot, and pour in the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 15-18 minutes until the zucchini is very tender.

Step 9

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches in a countertop blender.

Step 10

Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 11

Simmer the soup gently over low heat for an additional 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors, but do not let it boil.

Step 12

Serve hot with a garnish of chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. For extra flavor, add a lime wedge on the side.
