Barbara Bush'S Zucchini Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. cleaned, unpeeled zucchini
2 Tbsp. shallots (I use onion or leeks often)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tsp. curry powder
1 3/4 c. chicken broth or 3 bouillon cubes and 1 3/4 c. water
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. table cream
croutons (optional garnish)
chopped chives (optional garnish)

Preparation

Chop unpeeled zucchini, shallots and garlic.
Melt butter or margarine in a heavy frying pan.
Add chopped vegetables.
Cook for 10 to 20 minutes (stir to keep from burning; you don't want it to brown). Put all ingredients except for table cream into blender and blend.
Add table cream and blend.
