A cup of this soup is delicious, served hot or cold. To chill quickly, place soup in a bowl, and set in an ice-water bath, stirring frequently until cool.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • Coarse salt

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 teaspoons curry powder

  • 1 ½ pounds zucchini (about 3 medium), sliced 1 inch thick

  • 1 baking potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

  • cup sliced almonds, toasted, for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and 1 tablespoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and curry powder; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Add zucchini, potato, and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. In batches, puree soup in a blender (do not fill more than halfway) until smooth; serve immediately, or let cool, and refrigerate in an airtight container until chilled. Garnish with toasted almonds.
