Creamy Courgette Soup*

10min

Happy Saturday, Soupers! Long, rainy days calls for a delicious soup. And, sometimes you need a little inspiration from online friends. So for this delicious option, we took a visit to the French site: La Cerise sur le Maillot for ideas in order to try Stephanie Jouan’s awesome soup! Do check out and try the original recipe on her site.

Now, her recipe is meant to be a gazpacho and served chilled! However, we adapted it a bit and served warm or cold, this creamy bowl of awesomeness will not disappoint. What we loved about the soup were the flavor and creaminess. As my new adult son correctly stated, “the ricotta cheese” makes all the difference,” and it does! And, for this recipe, we pulled out the Betty Bossy soup maker. So go ahead and try it for yourself and let us know what you think!
