ZUCCHINI CHEESE SOUP (A.K.A. VACHE QUI RIT SOUP)



Zucchini Cheese Soup (A.k.a. Vache Qui Rit Soup) image

This is a children's favourite in France and has quickly become my children's favourite, here in Canada. I saw Laura Calder's "French Food at Home" show on Food Network Canada (foodtv.ca) where she prepared this quick and delicious recipe. You can substitute or add any vegetable you wish. I have found it is great made with broccoli or cauliflower and I sometimes add a couple of julienned carrots just to switch it up a bit. A fairly healthy soup because it is not loaded with cream, flour, butter or highly processed cheeses.

Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 onion, finely sliced
2 lbs zucchini, chopped (if substituting broccoli or cauliflower use 4 generous cups, chopped)
2 cups chicken stock (or water or vegetable stock)
salt and pepper (to season)
1 pinch cumin (optional)
4 ounces vache qui rit Laughing Cow cheese (or Boursin or cream cheese)

Steps:

  • Put the zucchini and onion in a medium saucepan and add chicken stock. (The stock will not cover the vegetables.) Add salt and pepper, to taste, and cumin, if using.
  • Bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, add cheese and puree. (An immersion blender works well and keeps dishes to a minimum.).
  • Gently reheat to serve.
  • NOTE: A herbed cream cheese, such as Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese with Garlic and Herbs, makes this soup really delicious!
