Super-filling and super-flavorful, this Zucchini Curry Lime Soup is a creamy yet healthy soup you can feel good about serving to your family! It only takes 30 minutes to make, and it's gluten-free and dairy-free, too!
I have said it before, and I will say it again, I am not a huge fan of soup.
It's not that I dislike soup, but it isn't a dish that I crave. The idea of it just doesn't have a lot of appeal to me.
At restaurants, when given the choice between soup or salad, I will ALWAYS take the salad. I don't know why, really, but a salad just has more appeal to me.
However, even though all of that is true for most soups, this soup changed that for me. I actually CRAVE this soup! Such yum! And the best part (for me, at least) is that it is really easy to make!
Pair this up with some bakery bread on the side, and you have a simple but filling meal for your family. Or serve alongside a seafood entree if you want something a little more substantial. Although, trust me, this soup is very hearty all on its own!
I recommend using an immersion blender to blend this into a smooth, creamy soup. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender or a food processor.
Just be careful not to overfill when you use those tools. Depending on the size, you may need to blend in batches to avoid overflowing.
You may be wondering about Thing 2. Is this a dish he could ever enjoy? And the answer to that is YES. He didn't love love love it, but he did like it. So here's another way for me to get more veggies into him!
And for another great soup recipe that's so yummy and healthy, try this Carrot and Lentil Soup!
Looking for another tasty soup? Try this Šaltibarščiai (Lithuanian Pink Soup)! It's vegetarian and gluten-free and enjoyed cold. The pink color comes from beets. It's delicious, so check it out!
Or if you like easy, hearty soups with lots of veggies, check out my Slow Cooker Chicken Soup. It's pretty much the easiest soup I've ever made, and it's flavorful and comforting as well!

Hi! Want to minimize fat? Saute in a little water or veg broth . I never saute in oil anymore. Also, if you like a hint of heat, add a sprinkle or more of cayenne. Yum!
