Recipe of the Week: This is the time of the year when one of our questions is: “What can I do with all of this zucchini?” Here is a quick, really delicious creamy (but cream free) solution! Serves 5 Easy Zucchini Soup ½ cup butter 2 lbs zucchini, cut into chunks 1 (15 oz) can of chicken broth (or 2 cups of chicken boullion) 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon curry powder Directions:

1. Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add zucchini, chicken broth, salt, and curry powder to the pot; cook until the zucchini is soft, about 15 minutes.

2. Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid in place; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.
