A Love Affair is born…

With a food processor, that is. It’s not even my  food processor, it’s borrowed with the intention to make large quantities of hummus. But, seriously, it was love at first pulse. I know, I know, I’m a big geek. But moving right along, on Saturday night I wanted cold soup. But I wanted something different. Maybe butternut squash soup? Nah, that seemed to autumn-ish. Then I did what I always do when I’m stumped, I google. A cold, curry summer squash soup? Perfect.

Cold, Creamy Curry Summer Squash Soup  (This recipe is adapted from an adaptation here. Joanne has a great blog!) Makes about 2 servings

2 tbsp butter
2 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1 1/4 lb summer squash
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup o% fat Greek yogurt

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the shallots, garlic, and curry powder for about 3 minutes. Add the summer squash, cover and cook until squash is tender, stirring every once in a while. Add the broth, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Puree in a food processor, add yogurt and pulse a few times. Chill and season to taste with black pepper. Note: I couldn’t wait for it to chill, so I tried it warm… still great. You decide.

  2. Shannon I'm so glad that you made it and liked it! It was my induction into the wild and wacky world of soups. I should probably make it again and update the picture. Looks delicious!
