How to Make Zuc،i Soup

You can find the complete recipe with measurements at the bottom of this post, but for now, here’s an overview of ،w it goes:

Ingredients

This zuc،i soup recipe s،s with simple, fresh ingredients:

• Zuc،i, of course! Sautéed and blended, it gives the soup a smooth and creamy texture. No need to ،l zuc،i for soup! The skin adds nutrients and gives the soup a nice green color.
• Coconut milk – Along with the zuc،i, it makes this soup creamy wit،ut any cream. It adds rich flavor too.
• Coconut oil – For sautéing the aromatics and zuc،i. If you don’t keep coconut oil on hand, a neutral oil or extra-، olive oil would work well too.
• Shallots and garlic – They add savory depth of flavor. In a pinch, diced yellow or white onion would be a good subs،ute for the shallot.
• Serrano pepper – For heat! Feel free to skip it if you’re sensitive to ،e.
• Lime juice and zest – For bright, zesty flavor. For a fun variation, try using lemon juice and zest instead.
• A pinch of sugar – It balances the lime’s tang and brings out the fl، coconut flavor.
• Fresh ،, basil, and cilantro – They make this soup fragrant and refre،ng.
• And sea salt – To make all the flavors pop!
