Cooking Instructions for making Courgette Soup
Preparation
Cut up the Courgette lengthwise in four parts and then slice it. Don’t slice it too thick!
Cut the shallots in half and slice these too.
If you do not have a garlic press, cut up the garlic as well.
Put 3 tbsp of Olive Oil into a large (wok) pan. Once the Oil is hot enough, (you can check this by splashing it with water) put in the shallots and the garlic. Sauté them.
Once you’re done, put in the courgette and let it sit for around 4 minutes on high heat.
After 4 minutes, put in 500ml of water and add the Stock Cube. Put on the pan lid and wait for 10-12 minutes while the courgette cooks.
After 10-12 minutes, check if the courgette is soft enough to blend and take the pan off of the heat. If the courgettes aren’t soft enough, let it sit for a bit longer.
Blend the soup with a hand-blender. You can do this in the pan if you’re careful. After you’re done blending, check for any big pieces of courgette. You can simply blend these or just pick them out.
After that, you can choose to put in Crème Fraîche or cooking cream.
Enjoy!
