-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/3 teaspoons olive oil

1/2 cup onion -- cut into thin rings or half-moons

3 cups zucchini -- diced

1 clove garlic -- minced or pressed

2 cups purified water

1/4 cup soy flour

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes

1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed

OR

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons white, yellow, or sweet light miso (not

red, barley, buckwheat, or dark miso)

1 tablespoon arrowroot dissolved in 2 to 3 tablespoons

cold purified water

ground black pepper and/or minced parsley

or chives to garnish

2 ounces skim or part-skim mozzarella, Colby,

cheddar, or soy cheese -- sliced or cubed into 4

portions

 

Add oil to 1-quart saucepan. Heat to medium setting. Add onions. Stir and

cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Add zucchini and garlic. Stir and

cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add water, soy flour, and nutritional yeast, but

do not stir. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for

about 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.

 

Transfer mixture to a blender. Add dill or nutmeg, and miso, then cover and

process until smooth. Return mixture to the saucepan. Warm over medium-low

heat. Dissolve arrowroot in cold water, then add to soup. Simmer and stir

until thick.

 

Remove from heat and serve warm, portioned into 4 soup bowls. Alternatively,

chill soup, then serve as a cold starter before a meal. Garnish soup with

parsley, chives, or black pepper. Serve cheese on the side.

 

Variations: Replace zucchini with equal amount of summer squash (yellow patty

pan squash). Replace miso with 1 teaspoon finely ground sea salt, but add

the salt in Step 1 above. Then serve 2 cups of cherry tomatoes with the soup

and cheese.
