Zucchini (thick) soup

I do it in a food processor that cooks at the same time, sort of like the Thermomix, but you can do it also with a stand up hand mixer type

Ingredients:



3 large size zucchini
350 gr. skimmed or low fat milk
1 Tbs of olive oil (to slightly fry the onion and zucchini)
1 bouillon cube (chicken or meat, up to you)
1 onion
3 light cheese triangles (laughing cow type)
salt and pepper to taste.


I remove part of the dark green skin of the zucchini, if you remove it all the soup will be very light green-white color.. with more skin, it will be dark green... i remove it sort of like leaving it in stripes... slice it not to thick, not to thin
and let it simmer in a covered pan with the onion.

If you don't want to use olive oil you can boil the zucchini and onions... your choice. Either way once they are cooked add the milk, and the bouillon cube and mix in the mixer until creamy, if it is too thick add milk until you get the consistency you want. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Let it cool for about 10 minutes and add the cheese and mix again.
Et voila!!! I'm doing it tomorrow so i might post again with pictures of the making of.. been wanting to do that for a while
