Stir in curry powder (if you like it, it’s great in this—around the zuke pieces in the pan as they start to cook. Puree, chill, add either cream, half and half, or my fave for fewer cals, yogurt, swirl in or stir. The dairy softens the flavor a lot when chilled, as in most chilled soups.

(no bacon, thyme, or spinach in the curry version).

Enjoy! if you try,

I would just add a hint of nutmeg (only a dash because it’s so strong)to give it another layer of flavor. Sounds delish!!!!
