How to Make Zucchini Soup (Kabak Çorbası)
Into a bowl, grate 1 washed zucchini — ends trimmed, skin on. Grate 1 peeled potato on top.
In a soup pot, sauté 1 finely diced onion in half a tea glass (about 50 ml / 3 tbsp) of vegetable oil. Add the zucchini and potato and sauté for a few more minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and mix a few times, then add enough water to fill more than halfway up the pot, stirring until the flour is fully dissolved. Once the zucchini and potato are cooked through, add 1 package of heavy cream and bring to one final boil. When serving, melt butter with Aleppo pepper flakes and drizzle over the top.
About This Recipe
Zucchini contains both low- and high-sugar compounds depending on the variety, which is why it is considered one of the most nutritious vegetables. As is well known, zucchini seeds are also roasted and enjoyed as a snack. In traditional medicine, the seeds of the pumpkin-type squash are used medicinally. Beneath the hard shell of these seeds lies a green layer containing a substance called "piorecin." Thanks to this compound, zucchini seeds have historically been used as a remedy against intestinal tapeworms known as "taenia saginata." Piorecin also acts against other intestinal worms. It is given especially to children, as it has no known harmful side effects. About 40 g for children and 100 g for adults is sufficient to expel tapeworms easily. If desired, the seeds can be ground in a mortar and mixed with sugar, syrup, or honey and given to the patient. After a few days, the harmful worms can be observed to have been expelled.
Zucchini is an annual plant that is grown fresh each year, with its fruit consumed as a vegetable. Research suggests it was first discovered some 7,500 years ago. Discovered thousands of years ago, it is now consumed in almost every preparation imaginable. Zucchini is high in fiber, making it an indispensable vegetable on any diet plan. It also contains minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and iron.
