The Lip-Smacking Soup Series: Creamy Zucchini!

Ingredients:
1 medium/large Zucchini
1 large onion

½ tspn Garlic paste
½ tspn Ginger paste (can add more as per taste)
1 tspn olive oil

Seasonings:
Salt, pepper (to taste)

Garnishing: (optional)
Fresh cream

Method:
 1.       Finely chop all ingredients.
 2.    Heat oil in a pan and saute onions ginger and garlic firs, adding Zucchini when Onions are pink.
 3.       Throw all ingredients into a pressure cooker with some water for 3/4 whistles.
 4.    Remove from fire, puree with a hand blender to eliminate lumps.
 5.    Add seasonings to taste and bring to a boil.
 6.    Garnish with a teaspoon of cream.

note: Personally, I prefer to retain the fibrous consistency of a soup. You can run the pressure-cooked and pureed soup through a sieve to remove the same.

        Vegetable Broth can be used instead of water any any stage of cooking.
