Zucchini Soup With Brie Cheese Recipes

ZUCCHINI/COURGETTE & BRIE SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes.
• Place potatoes in vegetable stock.
• Clean and chop leeks and place in stock.
• Clean and chop zucchini and place in stock.
• Bring to boil and cook until potatoes are soft.
• Blend all ingredients together (I use the hand blender - the best utensil ever for soups!).

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

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!
