Curried Zucchini Soup from the 5 Ingredients for Healthy Living Cookbook

If you want a new idea for curry this ten minute soup is just for you! Tumeric gives it a golden rich color that tantalizes your taste buds. Another bonus – hot foods make you feel full and one serving  of this delicious soup is under 70 calories. Gotta love that!

I enjoyed meeting Jan Barosh’s sister in law Danette Bembenk over the Curried Zucchini Soup and the Strawberry Spinach Salad.

Add zucchini and continue cooking four minutes longer. Add stock, bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover and cook 15 minutes. Remove from heat and puree in blender until smooth. Return to saucepan and cook until heated through. Makes 6 servings.
