Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion
- 2 tbsp. coarse sea salt, plus more to taste
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp. curry powder
- 1 1/2 lb zucchinis
- 1 potato
- 1 qt chicken stock
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Coarsely chop onion, zucchinis, and potato. Mince the garlic. Cut lemon to use to squeeze fresh juice.
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sea salt, cook until onion is soft.
- Add the garlic and curry powder; stir and cook for a minute to release the flavors.
- Add potato and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until potatoes are tender. Add the zucchini and simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If using a standing blender, process in small batches to avoid burning yourself on exploding hot soup.
- Adjust seasoning with sea salt. Juice half of the lemon into the soup, adding more to taste as desired.
- Serve immediately or cool and refrigerate until chilled. To chill more quickly, pour soup in a shatter resistant bowl (metal works well) and place the bowl in an ice water bath. Stir frequently until well chilled.

Very tasty! The kitchen smelled like a gourmet restaurant. I added an extra potato to give the soup more body. I did not peel the potatoes or zucchini. I sprinkled smoked paprika on the soup before serving. The recipe is going on the favorites list.
