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

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!
