Equipment

Ingredients

3 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 large shallot
1 jalapeño pepper, halved and seeded
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups reduced sodium vegetable, or chicken, broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Place the shallot, jalapeno and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the shallot, jalapeno and garlic. Sauté, stirring frequently for 3 minutes.

Puree the soup in a blender, or food processor, then return the soup to the pot.
Whisk in the yogurt and reheat over very low flame until hot.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Be careful with the jalapeño as they can be really hot. Take caution when taking out the seeds; use gloves if you have them to avoid stinging fingers.

I've specified plain non-fat Greek yogurt, but any type of plain non fat yogurt will work. Icelandic yogurt, available in lots of places including Trader Joe's, is my current favorite as it is really rich, not too tangy and unbelievably low calorie.
