Courgette & Parmesan Soup
from BBC Food
1/4 cup (60 mL) olive oil (or other cooking oil)
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 handful fresh basil leaves, chopped
Sea salt and white pepper, to taste
1 kilo courgettes (about 3 large ones), diced
2 or 3 cups (500-750 mL) chicken stock
1/4 cup (60 mL) cream
Handful fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped
50 grams grated parmesan
Heat the oil in a large, heavy based saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, basil, salt and courgettes and cook for about 10 minutes, until the courgette is slightly brown and softened.
Add the pepper and the stock and simmer for another 10 minutes, checking the taste and adding more salt and pepper as needed.
Remove from the heat and pour three quarters of the soup into a blender (or a separate bowl if using a hand blender). Blend until smooth, then return to the saucepan.
Stir in the cream, parsley and parmesan.

Great soup idea. . I found this through Turning the Clock Back's What's Cooking Wednesday. I have linked in an attempt at meatballs. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteSo is a courgette a squash of some type? This looks great! Please don't forget to like us on Facebook Thank you for linking to Foodie Friday!
ReplyDeleteOK so just in case there are more people out there that have the same question - a courgette is a zuchinni!!! Is zuchinni a type of squash? I think it is. So I guess the answer to that is yes.
DeleteHi Jaimie,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful summertime soup that I would just love. Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!
