Zucchini Purée Soup

An interesting purée-soup recipe for anyone living a healthy lifestyle! A week ago we drove out to my grandfather's dacha to close up the summer season, and he sent us home with two absolutely enormous zucchini. For seven days straight now I've been tirelessly cooking all kinds of dishes with them. Today, for instance, it was puréed zucchini soup — from a recipe by that same grandfather. I'm sharing it with you.

  • So, to start, cut the leek into 4 pieces and chop it fine. Now take the zucchini and cut it into cubes. Sauté the leek in part of the butter, add the diced zucchini, salt it, pour in warm milk, and simmer covered for 10 minutes. Separately, toast the flour in a dry pan (no oil), let it cool, whisk it with a little water until smooth. Now purée the cooked leek and zucchini with a blender. Stir the water-flour mixture into the soup. Then add water to the zucchini purée (either a vegetable broth or stock), thinning it to a purée-soup consistency. Bring the soup to a boil. After that, whisk in the beaten yolks, bring the soup back to a boil, and remove from the heat. Serve the purée soup garnished with fresh parsley and thinly sliced cucumber.
