Step 1
Pour the coconut milk and vegetable broth into a medium pot and set the heat to medium-high until the liquid is steaming and small bubbles form around the edges, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the curry paste and stir with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes until the paste dissolves completely and the soup smells intensely fragrant and spicy.
Step 3
Add the drained chickpeas and zucchini slices, stir once to distribute them, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 8 minutes until the zucchini is fork-tender.
Step 4
Remove the pot from heat, pour in the lime juice, and stir until the juice is fully mixed throughout the soup.
Step 5
Taste the soup with a spoon and add a small pinch of salt if needed; the lime should taste bright but not overpowering.
Step 6
Divide the soup between two bowls, sprinkle the lime zest on top of each bowl, and serve immediately while steaming.
