spiced zucchini soup

spiced zucchini soup

a bill granger recipe, of course, but you don't actually need a recipe for this one. sliced zucchini is sautéed with finely chopped shallots in olive oil just until wilted; add prepared vegetable stock, some leftover cooked white rice, a scant teaspoonful of curry powder, then simmer. run through a food processor until it reaches a consistency you like, then hello! a fantastic vegan soup--vegetarian if you add a dollop of sour cream like i did. of course you can add whatever stock you prefer, and other vegetables or other spices, if the curry seems overwhelming.

hey maia--i was just reading a review of this recipe, and the reviewer didn't like the curry in the soup, said it was overwhelming. i didn't cook the zucchini for very long and obviously left it rather chunky, so i rather enjoyed the curry with it. hope you do too!
