Classic zucchini puree soup
Zucchini soup puree will be loved by all connoisseurs of tasty and healthy food: it saturates perfectly, but it never leaves a feeling of heaviness in the stomach. It is better to cook it from vegetables of milk ripeness with delicate skin and small seeds. If you have a ripe and large fruit - the seeds are best removed.
For cooking, we need (for 2-3 servings)
- zucchini - 3 pcs.;
- seasoning curry - a pinch;
- cream 20% fat - 200 ml;
- chicken broth - 200 ml;
- salt, pepper to taste.
Zucchini should be grated, seasoned with salt and pepper, pour chicken stock and boil until soft. Since they are prepared very quickly, this can be done at high power in the microwave - they are boiled in just 10-15 minutes. Punch warm vegetables with a blender, pour in the warmed cream, fill in the curry. The soup turns a delicate green color, with a pleasant interspersed curry. You can decorate it with white croutons on top, sprinkle with any seeds or nuts (it is especially well combined with cashews), which are pre-fried in a dry frying pan. Light, hearty and spicy soup is ready!
With potatoes
Soup puree from zucchini and potatoes turns out to be more satisfying, rich. Since zucchini is completely neutral in taste, potato tubers give a pleasant taste, so that even finicky children will love the dish.
Preparing the soup is very simple: just cook the cups of potatoes and zucchini together, and then grind everything with a blender. At the last stage, pour cream into the soup, and season with spices. You should not use curry in this version: the seasoning is very bright. But savory or oregano will come in handy.
With cauliflower
Cauliflower inflorescences wonderfully combine with the fresh taste of a young zucchini. Such a soup of mashed potatoes with vegetables and slices of cauliflower does not have a specific "cabbage" smell, it is gentle and melting, and at the same time very useful.
In a small pan, boil small inflorescences of cauliflower and zucchini, pour everything with a small amount of clean water. When the vegetables have become soft, turn them into a mashed blender, add a little salt. If you cook soup for children, seasonings are not needed. For adults, season with ground black pepper and squeeze the garlic. And you can add a little butter, and the soup will get a pleasant creamy flavor that children simply adore.
Gentle cream soup
Mashed soup from zucchini with cream will turn out even more tender if you take a little more cream - not 200 l, but, for example, 300 or 350. For cooking with cream, take zucchini, cut them into large pieces, and stew in a small amount of water. Next, we mashed the soup with a blender to get a creamy consistency.
Zucchini can be cut not into cubes, but into thin slices - they will boil better and faster.
Heat the cream and pour a thin stream into the zucchini, stirring constantly. It remains only to warm everything together, add salt, add a little nutmeg (it is amazingly combined with cream). The soup is served with white crackers, and a light salad of Beijing cabbage and cucumbers.
How to cook in a slow cooker?
The process of preparing soup in a multicooker is very simple: put zucchini, cut into large pieces, carrots, potatoes and leeks at the bottom of the multicooker. Fill everything with a glass of broth and cook in the “Soup” mode for 10-15 minutes. When the vegetables are completely soft, they need to be crushed to a puree condition, add spices.
Ready soup is poured into plates, decorated with greens, and eaten with white bread toasts, grated with garlic.
With croutons
Mashed soups are often served with croutons. Of course, you can purchase them in advance, but it is better to dry them in the oven yourself, or fry slices of loaf soaked in a beaten egg in vegetable oil.
You can take any recipe as the basis for the soup, but when serving with croutons, it is better to make a cheese cap, just like the legendary onion soup. To do this, pour the finished soup into portioned pots, pour plenty of cheese, then bake in the oven. The cheese should melt, toast a little, topped with a golden crust. Before serving, the crust is pierced, and a creamy spicy zucchini soup spreads under it.
Cheese recipe
Any cheese dish only wins. And in a zucchini soup, he turns a simple dish into a delicious delicacy: he melts completely and transfers his creaminess to the vegetables from which the soup was cooked.
We will prepare everything in steps:
- Boil vegetables (zucchini, potatoes) until soft.
- Add some cream there.
- We rub any hard cheese, for example, Parmesan.
- We warm it all together on the stove.
- Mix thoroughly.
Sprinkle soup with garlic croutons fried from dried white bread. Serve with curd cheese sandwiches.
With bacon
Crispy strips of bacon will turn a light diet soup into a hearty lunch for a man. It’s better to cook “male” soup with potatoes - this way it will be rich, but if you wish, you can make it on any basis.
When the mashed soup is completely ready, fry the strips of smoked or raw bacon over high heat, and then lower them over the mashed soup. You can cut large slices into small ones - so it will be more convenient to eat hotter. Served with greens and onion bread toast.
Zucchini Lenten Soup
Puree soup will help with dignity and not hunger to withstand any post, even the most stringent.Choose any recipe you like, but exclude cheese, cream and other low-fat foods.
Variety of zucchini is possible by adding:
- carrot;
- pumpkin;
- celery root;
- potatoes.
It is very tasty to cook such a soup with chia seeds - they are thrown into a liquid and boiled, following the instructions on the package, you can replace exotic cereals with lentils or ordinary peas. Served with black yeast-free bread and any salad of fresh vegetables.
An ideal seasoning for lean soup is oregano (it’s also oregano).
For the first feeding
Zucchini and cauliflower are recommended for the first feeding for babies. A light and warm puree soup is perfect for these purposes!
To prepare the soup for the baby, take a half of zucchini and several cauliflower inflorescences. Boil vegetables in clean water and turn a wooden crush into mashed potatoes. It will be much softer if you make it from soft, slightly digested fruits. To add, add seasonings is not necessary. But a piece of butter (or a spoonful of olive) is quite allowed. Of course, if the baby is not allergic to cow's milk products.
With cream cheese
Mashed zucchini soup with cream cheese is easy to cook on any basis (with potatoes, cauliflower or other vegetables), dip 4 triangles of delicious cream cheese in a hot soup and mix thoroughly. The component should completely dissolve and barely be guessed. Any cheese can be purchased: with the taste of mushrooms, ham, greens. A splash of these goodies will complement the soup of zucchini puree with cream cheese, which will literally sparkle!
Instead of cream cheese, you can safely use dorblu with mold; the taste is very bright.
Zucchini is an amazingly grateful vegetable. In addition to the fact that he himself has a juicy fresh taste, a light nutty note in the aroma, he wonderfully complements many ingredients, combined with meat, vegetables, pasta and various cereals. You can cook zucchini soups very often, changing some components. So with a certain fantasy, this hot dish will never bother your household.
