Zucchini Soup Recipe

    Rosemary Zucchini Soup
    Canadian soup will have you hoping for a bumper zucchini crop in the vegetable garden. Its creamy texture comes from the rice, not the cream. To make it smoother, strain the soup through a fine sieve after puréeing.

    Ingredients
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    2 stalks celery, chopped
    1 onion, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, chopped
    2 teaspoons fennel seeds
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    3 zucchini, chopped
    1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
    2 1/2 cups sodium-free chicken stock
    3 tablespoons long-grain rice
    1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
    Directions
    In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat.
    Fry celery, onion, garlic, fennel seeds, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until softened.
    Stir in zucchini and rosemary; cook for 6 minutes.
    Add stock, 2 cups water and rice. Bring to boil.
    Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring often, for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
    Stir in rice vinegar; let cool slightly.
    In batches in blender or food processor, purée soup until smooth.
    Make-ahead : Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.
    Reheat in clean saucepan.
