Ingredients:

  • 1/4 lb shallots , thinly sliced crosswise (1 cup)
  • 1 1/2 lb zucchini (3 to 4 medium), peeled and halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices
  • 2 (2- by 1 1/2-inch) strips fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (14 fl oz)
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk or plain yogurt
  • garnish: thinly sliced or torn zucchini blossoms

Directions:

  1. Cook shallots in oil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add zucchini, zest, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth and water and simmer until zucchini is tender, about 3 minutes.
  3. Purée zucchini mixture, including zest, along with parsley and dill in a blender (in 2 batches if necessary) until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Transfer to a metal bowl, then set bowl into a larger bowl of ice and cold water (to quick-chill). Cool, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
  4. Stir in buttermilk and season with salt.
  5. Cooks' note: Soup (with buttermilk or yogurt) can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. (If making soup ahead, cooling in ice bath is not necessary.) Stir well before serving.
