Meanwhile cut the remaining zucchini into small chunks and put in a kettle. Add the onion, peeled and thinly sliced. Sprinkle with curry powder and stir to coat the pieces. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, cover, and simmer about 15 minutes or until zucchini is very tender. Whirl in a blender or food processor or put through a food mill.
