I guess I’m like a kid with a new toy at the moment. Here’s another power blender recipe for you, made once again in my Froothie Optimum 9400 blender.
We’re in the midst of a courgette glut (something I’m very happy about as I love them and feel rather sad in those occasional years when our harvest fails). This quick and tasty soup recipe is a great way to use courgettes. It’s also the perfect choice for the courgettes you failed to spot and which grew a bit larger than you intended; of course, you can make it with smaller courgettes too!
Quick Courgette & Blue Cheese Soup | Made in a Power Blender
Ingredients
- 850 g roughly diced courgette (weight after removing ends and scooping out seeds)
- 75-100 g strong blue cheese
- 30-50 ml double cream
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
-
Place courgette into blender jug. Pulse until courgette has been liquidised. You may need to pause between pulsing once or twice to shake the jug, and help distribute the courgette to within the blade’s reach. Don’t be tempted to add water, as it’s not necessary (and you don’t want to water down the flavour of your finished soup).
-
Once the courgette has been liquidised, add the blue cheese and cream and switch on the blender, ramping it up to the highest speed.
-
Leave it running for 6-7 minutes until the soup is piping hot.
-
Taste and add seasoning, blend for another few seconds and taste again.
-
Serve immediately.
-
Great with fresh bread or toast.

Oh that looks and sounds wonderful. It’s morning here, but I am still craving a bowl.
Thanks for linking to me 🙂
Thanks Jacs!
This looks so good, Kavey! Courgettes are one thing I would really love to grow, for the courgettes and the delicious flowers. I love to pair both with blue cheese too 🙂 The blender looks pretty ace also, impressed with what it can do!
We’ve almost always had good luck with courgettes, for many many years. Just a couple of years of failed or very low harvests recently, so I’m appreciating them even more this year!
Isn’t a high-speed blender addictive?! I love mine. This soup sounds really lovely. And I’m jealous of your courgette glut!
It’s great, have a long list of things I want to do in it!
Uber delish and simple. Love this Kavey. Blue cheese is the perfect foil for courgettes. Love my Froothie too. 🙂
Thanks Kellie, yes blue cheese is such a winner, I love it in many green soups.
This looks gorgeous. Very healthy too 🙂
Thanks, yeah I think it’s not much cheese or cream per person so pretty good!
Liking the sound of this soup Kavey but a Froothie does sound like it could be a sex toy.
True, that, Daisy! 🙂
This sounds absolutely fab! I love blue cheese and courgettes so this is the perfect combo 🙂
They’re delicious together! 🙂
