Really, I do prefer eating a few piece of cheese, for example, than a big one "LIGHT"...
So, when I heard about this soup, I was a little bit sceptical. Then I ate it. And I forgot all my doubts, regarding this dish. Just this one, ok.
When you'll make a heavy meal, when you'll feel guilty after two pieces of cake or some glass of wine, when you'll feel, in your stomach, that this time, it was a little bit too much ... Eat this soup. She's magical. She's got the power to take away your guiltiness ...
It's tasty but, my fingertips are burning to type it, LIGHT. Yes, madame !
The ingredients I'll give is for 2 persons or just for one, during 2-3 days.
I use to eat it just before the principal meal. This was, I'm less hungry, I eat less and everybody is happy in a happy world !
... Then, I spend my entire night going to the toilets, doing ten thousand liters wee !
So much fun ! ... ;)
But as we say in french : "Il faut savoir ce que l'on veut !" (you have to know what you want !)
Here what you'll need :
- 4 zucchini
- 1 onion
- 50 grammes of cream cheese (philadelphia is perfect, for example)
- 1 garlic stock cube (or 2 cloves of garlic and some parsley).
Step 1 :
Cut onion and zucchini in large piece and put them in a pan, with the stock cube.
Step 2 :
Cover all this with water and let cook until your vegetables become tender. For me, it was 25 minutes.
Step 3 :
Then, when it's cooked, add your cheese and blend the soup.
That's it ! Bon appétit, friends !

Dear Axelle-This looks like a delicious soup. I can see your climate is a bit ahead of yours. No courgettes here until August. This soup will be made then. It will be just the thing. You definately need one of those immersion blenders which you have pictured in order to blend the soup. It makes the process so much easier than shifting the soup little by little to a glass blender. Well, keep cookin'! Have a wonderful day. Regards-Jamie

DeleteYes, you're right, I wanted one of those blenders you're talking about. But I have to say, I don't like to throw away objects who still work. So, I wait for it to doesn't work anymore :D
Deletethank you very much for your comment, Jamie.
Dear Axelle-I don't want you to think that I was telling you to get something which you do not have. I see the blender which you have in the pot, the Braun, is an immersion blender. That is what I meant. The blender which you have is much better than any other kind for processing hot soup. So you already have the perfect blender! Regards-Jamie
DeleteDear Jamie, don t worry, it s me to understand badly : i thought you were talking about a larger one. It exists, here, in france and once, i imagined to buy it. Sorry aigain, i understand better now, reading again your comment ;)
DeleteI have never seen the garlic stock cube. I like it and will look for it. We do have Knorr products here.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, easy recipe.
Dear Donna, it's very very practical. For example, I use it into roasting chicken, or in boiling water, for pasta (it exists the one with olive oil and basil). It's great hen you don't have time or you don't want to cook. :)
DeleteDear Axelle, What a great idea for using zucchini. I will certainly try this recipe in the future.
ReplyDeletelove and prayers, jep
If it's too hot, now, where you live, yes, better maybe waiting for colder days :D
DeleteHere, strangely, heat is just beginning !! So, I can eat this soup with pleasure :)
Friendly.
