Our friends Neil, Ange & Emma, and Jess & Andrew have an allotment and are presently enjoying an over-suppy of courgettes. I was there for diner last night and we had this yummy courgette soup.

 | Ingredients | Serves 4
1 kg courgettes - any size and colour
250g potatoes (suitable for mashing), peeled or scrubbed
2 cloves garlic, peeled & crushed
1 medium onion, peeled & chopped
30ml olive oil
150g soft cheese (see note below for alternatives)
Handful fresh chives, chopped
Handful fresh summer herbs of your choice, chopped
1 1/2 pints water (or mild-flavoured stock) | |
|
Method |
- Wash the courgettes and chop them into chunks.
- Heat the oil gently in a large pan. Add the onion and garlic.
- Gently cook for about 5 minutes, to soften.
- Add the potatoes. Stirr. Cook gently, covered, for about 15 minutes, until about half-cooked.
- Add the courgettes and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 1/2 pints of water - just enough to cover the contents of the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
- Remove from the heat and liquidise the soup.
- Add the Cheese & herbs.
- Season to taste with salt & pepper.
