Courgette & Mint Soup

Got some feedback about bumper crops of courgettes in the gardens and shops this year so here's a way to use them up

Ingredients

  • 2 small onions
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 2 small potatoes
  • 3 med courgettes
  • 1 stock cube
  • Olive oil, salt & pepper
  • handful of mint
Method
  1. Cut the onions into dice, crush the garlic
  2. Heat a little oil in a saucepan and add the onions, garlic, salt & pepper, turn down the heat (2)
  3. Wash & peel the potatoes and cut into dice, add to the saucepan and stir well
  4. Wash top & tail the courgette, cut into chunks and add to the saucepan, stir well
  5. Add enough water to cover the vegetables and bring to the boil.
  6. Crumble the stock cube into the saucepan and lower the heat, simmer without a lid until the potatoes are soft.
  7. Add the washed mint and immediately liquidize the contents of the saucepan, if it's too thick for your liking add more water.
