ZUCCHINI SUMMER SOUP
This soup can be served hot or cold, and is great to use up those giant zucchinis from the garden! This soup can easily be adjusted to your personal tastes. If you want a thicker soup you can cut back on the tomatoes and add a little more zucchini. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- Place zucchini cubes in colander; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt and let stand to drain for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine in a blender the roma tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, and water; blend until smooth.
- Pour tomato mixture and chicken broth into a large stockpot. Bring to a boil over medium heat; immediately reduce heat to low; stir in sugar and simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic, onion, green pepper, and zucchini, and cook and stir until onion is clear and zucchini is lightly brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to blender and pulse a few times, just enough to chop.
- Add vegetables to the stockpot; stir in lemon juice, dill, tarragon, and parsley. Simmer, uncovered, for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer an additional five minutes. Let stand for ten minutes before serving.

COLD ZUCCHINI SOUP
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Trim and chop the zucchini, getting rid of the ends. Reserve.
- Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat and add oil, onions, and salt. Cook onions, stirring occasionally until translucent and tender, for about 5 minutes.
- Add zucchini and broth to the onions. Set the heat to high to bring to a boil. Reduce the heat immediately after boiling and maintain a steady simmer until zucchini is very tender, for about 15 minutes.
- Once the zucchini is cooked, turn off the heat. To avoid burns, let the soup cool for at least 20 minutes before blending. Working in batches if necessary, blend soup on high speed until very smooth.
- Transfer pureed soup to a large bowl or sealable container. Cover and chill until cold, for at least 1 hour.
- When ready to serve, stir with cream or yogurt, if using, and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Decorate with fresh cilantro and enjoy.

SUMMER'S BEST ZUCCHINI SOUP
I like the way nature balances her books. In summertime, everyone gets hot and loses water. So what does Mother Nature do? She produces an abundance of summer squash, which happens to be full of water, making it an ideal vegetable to combat dehydration. I think of zucchini as the perfect party guest. It's mild and mixes well with a crowd. The key with zucchini is good prep, so that the flesh stays somewhat firm and tasty.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, potato, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and continue to sauté for about 8 minutes, until the potatoes begin to get tender, adding 1 tablespoon of broth if they begin to stick or the pan gets too dry. Add the diced zucchini, oregano, red pepper flakes, and another 1/4 teaspoon of salt and sauté for 4 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup of the broth to deglaze the pan and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Remove from the heat.
- Pour 2 cups of the broth into a blender, add one-third of the zucchini sauté, and blend until smooth. Transfer to a soup pot over low heat, and repeat the process two more times. Stir in the grated zucchini and lemon juice, then taste and adjust the seasoning if needed until you have achieved yum.
- Serve garnished with the Pistachio Cream, parsley and mint.
- For a luscious curried zucchini soup, omit the oregano and add 1 teaspoon of curry powder and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin. In place of the Pistachio Cream, parsley, and mint, garnish with a dollop of Sweet and Savory Yogurt (page 189) or Tomato Mint Chutney (page 176). Yum!
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
