About
This soup has been in my repertoire since I started cooking post-college. It’s incredibly versatile, healthy, quick and economical. It can be eaten hot or cold. It can be made with summer or winter squash. What more do you want from a recipe?
The original recipe, that I often make without much variation to it came from a short-lived but much beloved food magazine, Taste. Zucchini-curry soup as the recipe called for was served cold and as a first course. My version of zucchini-curry soup is served hot over rice (of any type) and as a one-dish meal, perfect for lunch or a light dinner. This has been my go-to meal for many, many years.
