Crema de Calabazines

Crema de Calabazines

I learned this excellent cream of zucchini soup recipe while living in Spain from a 75-year old woman in Madrid. It’s excellent, easy, low-fat, and cheap, as well as a wonderful comfort food. Vary recipe by adding carrots or spinach or other vegetables. Increase potato volume for thicker soup. Garnish with croutons, paprika and chives. Delish!

Step 1
Clean and quarter zucchini and potatoes. Peel and chop onion. In a large pot boil zucchini, potatoes and onion in water (just covering them) until very tender. Drain vegetables, but retain stock.
