Here is a great recipe for those courgettes that got too big; courgette soup. Delicious, fresh and so satisfying. Actually mine was so thick it was more like a salsa.... mmm... maybe I could add it to something!
Serves 2 large helpings
1 large supersize courgette - cut into cubes
4 large tomatoes - quartered
1 onion roughly chopped
Olive oil for cooking
Seasoning
- Fry the onion in a little oil until just transparent and add the courgette.
- Cook for about 10 minutes and then add the tomatoes and cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes. We are looking at the courgettes being cooked through but still retaining some of that raw freshness.
- Whizz it all up in a blender - you can keep a few cubes of courgettes behind to give the soup some different texture.
- Serve with the courgette cubes. You can add some basil to the mix; especially if the courgette so large and you need to add some more flavouring. Sprinkle a little pepper and serve.

This sounds yummy! Great with parmesan bread I imaginef.
With my courgettes I make "Chinese Chips" which are batons of courgette coated in a light egg white batter ( like a Tempura batter) and deep fried. Even children will eat these!
Can be served with anything or just on their own. Quite a delicate flavour so good with chicken. On their own a squirt of lemon juice and salt is all you need! ENJOY!
