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

1 onion, finely sliced
2 lbs zucchini, chopped (if substituting broccoli or cauliflower use 4 generous cups, chopped)

salt and pepper (to season)
1 pinch cumin (optional)
4 ounces vache qui rit Laughing Cow cheese (or Boursin or cream cheese)

Steps:
