Zucchini (Courgette) Soup
Total time: 30 minutes
This is a simple recipe, but delicious. You could chop some olives to sprinkle on top, snip fresh chives or even a dab of pesto on top of the yogurt! Don't peel the zucchini, it's healthier and gives the soup a nice color!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chopped zucchini 1 about 8" (20cm) long
- 1 medium onion
- 1 1/2 cups (12oz, 360ml) chicken stock
- 1 tbs butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 2 tbs (1oz, 30gr) Greek or plain yogurt for garnish
Instructions:
- Chop onion and zucchini.
- In medium saucepan sauté onion in butter until transparent.
- Add zucchini and just enough chicken stock to cover.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Purée solids, adding enough of the stock to get the consistency for the soup that you like - we like it thick.
- Snip thyme leaves and stir into soup.
- Serve, either hot or cold, with a dollop of yogurt in the center.
