Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini and sauté for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
Sprinkle in the curry powder and cumin, and stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is very tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper, and adjust seasoning as needed.
Reheat the soup gently over low heat if required, but do not let it boil after adding the yogurt.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
