Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 count lamb chops about 1.5 inches thick, trimmed of excess fat
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 tbsp garam masala Indian spice blend
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt divided
- 2 medium zucchini chopped, about 4 cups
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt for serving
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
Notes
Storage: Store soup and lamb chops separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat soup gently on the stovetop and reheat chops in a 350°F oven or skillet until warmed through. Make-Ahead: The zucchini soup can be made up to 2 days ahead. The spice rub can be mixed and stored in an airtight container for a week. Substitutions: Use chicken breast or firm tofu instead of lamb for a different protein. For a dairy-free version, omit the yogurt or use a plant-based alternative. Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of basmati rice or naan bread for a complete meal. The soup alone is a delicious light starter.
