Zucchini Soup

ஜுக்கினி சூப்

By Ganesan Kannan

25 mins Serves 5 Easy Madurai

Zucchini Soup made the Tamil kitchen way with 2 zucchini, chopped — light, warming and full of clean, honest flavour.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Keep 2 zucchini, chopped and the rest of the ingredients ready before you start.

  2. 2

    Heat the butter or oil in a heavy pot and sauté the onion until soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Do not peel the zucchini — the skin gives the soup its pale green colour and body.

  4. 4

    Pour in the stock, bring to a gentle simmer and cook until everything is tender; season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Ladle the zucchini soup into bowls and serve piping hot with a wedge of lemon or toasted bread.
