Zucchini, Onion and Dill Soup is a simple vegetable soup made by cooking zucchini and onion with dill. It fits naturally into Turkish home cooking, though it has no single regional recipe; some cooks blend it until smooth, while others leave a little texture.
Served warm, it combines zucchini’s mildness and onion’s gentle sweetness with dill’s fresh, herbal flavour. In Turkey, it works as a light first course at lunch or dinner, often alongside bread or a salad; it can also make a modest meal on its own. With about 30 calories per 100 g, it is a light choice when you want a vegetable-based soup. Use oil sparingly for an especially light bowl, and add fresh dill just before serving for a brighter taste.
