ZUCCHINI AND BASIL SOUP



Zucchini and Basil Soup image

A quick-to-prepare, low fat, inexpensive and yummy soup, adapted from a recipe I found in the Australian magazine 'New Idea'. Not sure exactly when, but I think from 2005; it's one I cut out of the magazine some time ago, and have made several times since then. Like most soup recipes, it's extremely verasatile: you can add other vegetables that you have on hand that need to be used. I've added baby spinach leaves that needed to be used, and on one occasion, I added a packet of lentils. If you add other vegetables, you will probably need to add more stock. BTW, 750g = 1½ pounds.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large yellow onions (Americans) or 2 large brown onions, finely chopped (Australians)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
750 g zucchini
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
6 cups vegetable stock (see notes)
1 cup basil leaves, shredded and loosely packed
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 cup cream or 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
shredded basil or thin slices lime, to serve

Steps:

  • Sauté the onion in a large (preferably non-stick) pan over a gentle heat until softened but not browned; add the potatoes and cover and cook over a gentle heat.
  • Cut the ends from the zucchinis and cut into thick slices; add to the pan and add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste and cook, covered, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil; simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until the zucchini is very tender.
  • Stir in the basil and the garlic and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and cool slightly; then blend the soup in a blender or food processor. An immersion blender is undoubtedly the easiest way to do this.
  • Reheat the blended soup and stir in the lemon juice.
  • Serve with a dollop of cream or Greek yoghurt and a sprinkling of finely chopped parsley, shredded basil or a thin slice of lime in each bowl.
  • NOTES: If you don't like lemon, this can be omitted. I really recommend using Greek yoghurt rather than cream; it's just so deliciously creamy! When making this soup, I've used my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453.

ZUCCHINI AND BASIL SOUP



Zucchini and Basil Soup image

A great way to use an abundance of Zucchini. This is so easy, so creamy and so very, very nice. This soup can be frozen or kept for 2 days in the fridge. If you don't have fresh Basil, a basil pesto can be used. Also vegetable stock can be used instead of chicken stock.

ZUCCHINI BASIL SOUP



Zucchini Basil Soup image

This recipe, from the August 1993 issue of Gourmet Magazine is a little different than the ones already posted here on 'Zaar'. This is a simple soup to make when zucchini and basil are abundant in the garden and at farm stands. Just be sure to use small zucchini, which are sweeter than the large ones.
