CURRIED ZUCCHINI BROCCOLI SOUP

This soup is fast and easy to prepare – as always, my preference. It has become one of our favorites during the winter time. Even the grand children enjoy it immensely.

The soup is lightly curried to allow the delicate flavor of the zucchini to come through. You can adjust the flavor by adding more, or less curry powder.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tsp. butter or coconut oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 5 cups fresh broccoli
• 2 pounds fresh zucchini, sliced
• 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

• Salt and pepper to taste

6. Allow soup to cool slightly; then transfer to blender or food processor
7. Puree soup until smooth but still has some green flecks
8. Return soup to saucepan and stir in sour cream.
