The Good Life

Hello, recipe time again! 

We have picked so many courgettes and they were huge! So Phil decided to make a gorgeous soup on Saturday night…we rock!

So you will need:

• 10 courgettes
• 1 large potato
• 4 carrots
• 1 large onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Vegetable stock (Phil prefers swiss boullin)
• 1/2 teaspoon tumeric 
• salt and pepper

1. Chop up courgettes / carrots / peeled potato / onion and garlic
2. Put a large pan on the and add two large glugs of olive oil
3. Gently fry the chopped onion and crushed garlic (be careful not to burn garlic)
4. Once softened add the courgettes, carrots and potato and stir thoroughly
5. Turn down the heat and put the lid on, sweat the vegetables for about 15  minutes
6. Add the vegetable stock (make up as directed) and fill to the top of the pan about an inch below the top veg line.
7. Add salt, pepper and tumeric
8. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes
9. Blend the soup and then serve.
10. Add a touch of cream and fresh basil for garnish
