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.
