instructions
1. Prep all the ingredients. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the foam has subsided, stir in the shallots, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté until soft, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the ginger and zucchini and cook for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
2. Pour in the broth and lime juice and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the zucchini is softened, 5-7 minutes.
3. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the zest and half-and-half. Purée the soup with an immersion blender, and add salt and pepper to taste.
