Zucchini Cheese Soup

Today’s #SundaySupper is a Squash Fest. This is perfect for late summer as I had big gorgeous zucchini growing in the backyard. I have made this Zucchini Cheese Soup many many times. The recipe is written out by my mother on a scrape piece of paper and was given to her by her friend Kathrine many many years ago. Katherine is married to a French man named Francois and that is where this recipe originated, France. It is a very simple soup that highlights zucchini perfectly.

This French soup is a favorite with children in France. It is called La Vache Qui Rit Soup in France, The Laughing Cow. I think I have made it every late summer for as long as I can remember. You can serve it with a crusty bun or a little light garlic toast. Add a big side salad and you have a delicious vegetarian meal.

You usually use a broth for soup but this one is just water which is different. I don’t think I would like it with broth, it is such a delicate soup, the stock would be over bearing then.
