Zucchini Puree Soup
6 servings
60 minutes
A light and at the same time dense, due to the addition of cream, zucchini puree soup. You can use both regular zucchini and all-season zucchini for it. It is better if they are at the very beginning of maturity - when the skin has not yet hardened , and the insides have not turned into foam rubber. Then, to prepare the soup, a minimum of manipulation is required - you do not even need to peel the zucchini, but simply cut into pieces and stew. Otherwise, it seems that you can not come up with a more simple dish: fried onions and garlic add flavor, cream is responsible for tenderness, and carrots leave a vibrant color so that the soup does not look pale in the plate.
