      I have never been able to imagine what good is a zucchini for. I was prescribed to eat it for salad and did not like it. Now I must give it another chance in the form of soup. I will try making this and the hot and sour soup which is still on the TBC (to be cooked).

      I agree with Anamika. I’ve only had it in a salad and have found it quite insipid. The soup looks lovely though. I need to check how to make vegetable stock first.

        I actually love zucchini. If you add it to Chinese or Thai curries, it soaks in all the flavour. It reminds me of turai in taste.

        Veg stock is easy to make. Take about 1 litre of water. Put in veggies like onion, garlic, ginger, carrots, stems of coriander, some while spices like pepper corn, clove, bay leaf, cinnamon etc. with salt. Boil for about 15-20 minutes or till the stock is 2/3rd. Cool, strain and use. You can store in the fridge for upto a week.
