Well then, let me tell you, this zucchini velouté with La Vache qui rit is a little express happiness, especially with the Cookeo. You know, those evenings when you want to eat light but comforting? Here’s the perfect recipe, very simple, that always ends up saving me.

I love this very smooth texture, a real green cloud that melts in your mouth. And honestly, the cheese melting in it is the detail that changes everything. I can’t help but think of my childhood every time I open a portion.

Well, I admit that sometimes I skip the onions, especially when I’m in a hurry, but it doesn’t spoil the taste. After all, everyone does as they wish, huh. And then, the Cookeo does almost everything by itself, so no fussing.

The essential ingredients for a successful zucchini velouté with La Vache qui rit using the Cookeo

  • 4 medium zucchinis, washed but not necessarily peeled (I like to keep the skin for the color)
  • 1 large onion, cut into pieces (or not, if you’re like me and in a rush)
  • 1 liter of water (more or less, to adjust according to the desired texture)
  • 5 portions of La Vache qui rit – the secret for this unique creaminess
  • 1 chicken broth cube (you can use vegetable broth, that works too)
  • 1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed (because a little garlic taste always enhances the flavors)
  • Salt and pepper, to your liking (but don’t overdo it, the broth is already well seasoned)

The detailed preparation for an express zucchini velouté with La Vache qui rit

For me, the easiest is to put the zucchinis directly in large pieces into the Cookeo pot, without bothering to peel them (that’s kind of my secret to go fast). Then, add the onion, garlic clove, broth cube, and water.

  • Start pressure cooking for about 18 minutes. Meanwhile, you can set the table or do something else because the Cookeo handles everything.
  • Once cooked, add the portions of La Vache qui rit directly into the pot. I recommend doing it while the soup is still hot, it melts like magic.
  • Blend everything with an immersion blender (you can adjust the texture: smoother or chunkier, depending on your mood).
  • Adjust seasoning if necessary.

I admit, sometimes I don’t blend too long, just enough to feel a few small pieces — it gives a bit more character to the velouté. But that’s up to you, huh.

Essential utensils to successfully make this velouté with the Cookeo without hassle

  • Cookeo, obviously. If you have it, you’ll see, it’s super convenient for this kind of express recipe.
  • A sharp knife to quickly cut your zucchinis and onion.
  • An immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the Cookeo pot.
  • A wooden spoon to stir and taste (important, always taste when cooking).

Actually, this velouté is kind of my go-to when I want to eat light but without spending hours in the kitchen. The zucchinis melt, the cheese brings softness, it’s downright addictive. I just advise you to avoid making it when you’re crazy busy, or you might forget to add the La Vache qui rit… it happened to me, I assure you, not great.

Otherwise, in winter, I sometimes add a pinch of nutmeg, it warms up and gives another dimension to the soup. But otherwise, the simple and straightforward side is what I prefer, no need for much to make a delight.

So there you go, try this recipe, it’s really great. Go for it with your Cookeo, and I promise, no one will make a face at the table, even picky kids!

Can La Vache qui rit be replaced with another cheese?

Yes, you can use fresh cheese like Saint Môret or another soft cheese, but the texture and taste will be somewhat different, less soft and melting.

Is it possible to make this recipe without Cookeo?

Of course! Just cook the zucchinis, onion, and broth in a saucepan over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, then add the cheese and blend.

Can the velouté be frozen?

Yes, this velouté freezes well. Remember to let it cool completely, then store it in an airtight container. For serving, reheat gently adding a little water if needed.

What is the best season to prepare zucchini velouté?

The best season is obviously summer when zucchinis are fresh and sun-ripened. But organic zucchinis are available all year round, so no problem enjoying it often.

Can other vegetables be added to this soup?

Yes, I sometimes add a potato or a leek for more softness and volume. It changes it a bit, but La Vache qui rit always keeps that unique creamy touch.
