Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more, for drizzling
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped peeled potato
3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 medium clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 cups chopped zucchini
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, plus some leaves, for serving
Chopped toasted almonds, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, thyme, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini, bring back to a simmer and cook until tender, about 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme and let cool at least 5 minutes. Stir the basil into the soup and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full).
  • Reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot and garnish with a sprinkle of almonds, basil leaves and a drizzle of oil.

ZUCCHINI SOUP



Zucchini Soup image

Zucchini are everywhere in the summertime, which is why we always need simple ways to use them all up before the season is over. You can serve this Italian-inspired soup warm or at room temperature.

Provided by Jackie Rothong

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
5 large zucchini (about 3 pounds total), 4 chopped into 2-inch pieces, 1 very thinly sliced into rounds on a mandoline
1 yellow onion, chopped into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups warm water
Lemon Oil, recipe follows
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 lemon, cut into quarters, seeds removed

Steps:

  • Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped zucchini and onions. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Increase the heat to high and add the water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, lay the sliced zucchini in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Continue until all the sliced zucchini is cooked.
  • Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, pour into bowls, drizzle with Lemon Oil and top with the fried zucchini.
  • Combine the oil and lemon in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve set over a liquid measuring cup. Set the lemon oil aside until ready to use. The oil can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
