Serves 6

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup shallots, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, sliced
• 3-4 (about ½ lb) medium zucchini, sliced
• Zest and juice of 1 medium lemon, divided
• 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
• ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
• 1 ½ Tbsp granulated sugar
• ½ cup plain nonfat yogurt
• Dash coarse salt

Directions

1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
   
   
2. Add zucchini and lemon zest and cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is softened but not cooked through, about 5 minutes.
   
   
3. Place zucchini, lemon juice, broth, parsley, dill and sugar into a blender and puree until smooth.
   
   
4. To chill soup quickly, transfer to a container and place in a large bowl of ice water. Cool, stirring occasionally, for at least 20 minutes.
   
   
5. Stir in yogurt, season with salt and taste; adjust accordingly. Serve.
