Makes about 4 cups, serving 4
In a large saucepan cook the onion in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring until it is softened, add the zucchini and salt and pepper to taste, and cook the mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Add the broth and 1 1/4 cups water and simmer the mixture, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the coriander, and let the mixture cool. In a blender or food processor purée the mixture in batches, transferring the soup as it is puréed to a bowl. Stir in the lemon juice, season the soup with salt and pepper, and serve it at room temperature or chilled.

Back to TopGreat combination of flavors; I also omitted the water. I can't wait to try it with zucchini from my garden.

Absolutely delicious. I make it all the time and can't believe that such simple ingredients create such a fabulous flavor. I serve it heated up with some homemade croutons.

This soup has no business being this good!! I used zucchini & lemon from the garden but after reading the last review I used store bought organic cilantro because mine is too strongly flavored. I never realized zucchini and cilantro have such an affinity. Husband went crazy for this (the self-professed zucchini abstainer!!) If it's flavorless like some have said it just needs salt throughout the cooking process and a bit more lemon juice.

I don't know if I did something wrong, but this was AWFUL. The coriander was bitter and overwhelming. Wished I had not put it in -- had to throw away the whole batch, which was a shame, because before the coriander went in, it tasted good. Better luck to others

This is surprisingly good! I used 1 zucchini, 1 yellow squash, and 2 small patty pans,a whole onion, a nice clove of garlic and about 2 cups of broth, plus the lemon juice and 3T of half and half. A word to the wise: be sure to chop the coriander before putting in the blender, or you will have complications! I didn't, and made a big mess, ending up with use of blender AND food processor. So much for impatience, but the end result was delicious.

Amazing! I added some roasted cumin seeds and the zest of a lemon. I would definitely repeat this again and would add chopped zucchini flowers on the top ,when its available in the summer. I am planning to make more for friends.

This is an excellent recipe for using up surplus zucchini, AND it's delicious! I added a clove of garlic and omitted the water. This will become a summer staple for me.

Very good, very easy soup. I added 2 chopped garlic cloves to the onions, used half chicken and half veggie bouillion (that's what I had on hand) and put in a dollop of yogurt to serve. Next time I'll make a double batch!

This is a keeper! I used less liquid, only enough to cover the zucchini. Result was light, subtle and delicious.

This is a tasty easy recipe, especially when using a stick blender. I did add about 1.25 cups of water as noted in the recipe directions, and didn't find the soup to be too watery. I also added about 2 tbsps of half-and-half to make the soup a little more creamy.

Don't get the hype!!!There was mentioned, in the instructions, to put in 1.25 cup water. Others must have not seem that. I kept wondering about that and referred to others comments and no one mentioned it. It was tasteless and had no consistency. Don't put in the water.
