Cream of Zucchini Soup

Hi everybody and Happy New Year!

I’ve returned from my vacation week. I went to France and had a fantastic time.


Today, I’m going to share with you my recipe for courgettes velouté. It’s absolutely delicious, and I think it’s ideal for a chilly winter night. This soup goes well with goat cheese and honey toasts. It genuinely gives me a sense of home.


To be honest, I’d been wanting a hand blender for a long time, so when my brother asked what I wanted for Christmas, I asked for one. My entire family laughed as I opened my present, but I was actually delighted since I had lately developed a theory.

Here is my theory:

Basically, we all have certain products that we need and aren’t too expensive, but every time we see them at the store, we think to ourself, “no, not this time,” and then we get home and realize we need the item we didn’t purchase earlier in the store. It was a box of tissues for me, and lentils for some of my friends. Don’t ask me why, but we all have something we need that isn’t very expensive and would make our lives so much simpler if we bought it.

One of the products for me was a hand blender. So I’m overjoyed, and thank you, Benjamin!

So, now that I’ve gone on a rant, let me tell you a little bit more about this soup. It’s creamy and has a delicious zucchini flavor. If you like, sprinkle some parmigiano cheese on top. I know I like mine with nothing so I can taste every single ingredient.

Enjoy, and please let me know what you think of my theory.
