Preparation
- Step 1
To make the soup, heat the oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the peppers, onions and ½ cup broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Cover and cook for 20 minutes longer.
- Step 2
Scrape the mixture into a food processor and process until smooth. Add the remaining broth, yogurt, lemon juice, salt and pepper and process until combined.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, to make the salsa, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the zucchini on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Place in a bowl and let cool. Toss in the remaining ingredients. Place the soup in a saucepan over low heat just until hot. Ladle the soup among 4 bowls. Top with a mound of the salsa and serve immediately.
