Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and chop them into medium-sized chunks.
Step 2
Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic, curry powder, ground cumin, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute to release the spices' flavors.
Step 6
Add the chopped zucchini to the pot and stir to coat them evenly with the spices. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
Step 8
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender.
Step 9
Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through. Do not let it boil.
Step 10
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 11
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and an extra drizzle of coconut milk if desired.
