Soupe a la Courgette (Zucchini Soup)

With the weather cooling down a bit I was feeling like having a soup. I was not looking for a heavy soup and luckily zucchinis are still around. I had been meaning to try this zucchini soup recipe for a while now. One of the reason that I wanted to try this recipe was that I wanted the try the La Vache Qui Rit cheese. The soup was a really nice green colour until I added the cheese and pureed it. After the cheese was pureed into the soup it became a much paler green. The colour was a bit disappointing but the soup still tasted great. The cheese added a really nice creaminess. The La Vache Qui Rit cheese is a very creamy cheese that is so soft that it jiggles and wobbles.

By adding the Laughing Cow cheese this zucchini soup then becomes perfect for those on the South Beach Diet. It certainly sounds delcious. I would like to try the jiggly cheese!!!
I love laughing cow cheese. I will definitely try this recipe. It's getting colder and I want soup!
Never thought to put cheese into the courgette soup - you added it before pureeing?
I saw this soup on Laura Calder's show and it's on my "to-try" list...looks tasty!
Yikes, the recipe is a bit off. One small zuccini isn't going to make a soup, although it does explain why only one tin bit of cheese is used. The recipe I use is almost identical, no garlic, and I use an entire package of cheese! By the way, the recipe on this blog isn't Laura Calder's recipe....
For variation:
Try this same recipe, add bits of bacon, and use as a pasta sauce - ie: Pour over pasta for a rich delicious dish!
