If you're looking for a delicious and easy soup to make, look no further than this creamy courgette soup recipe. This soup is perfect for a cold winter's night or a light lunch, and it's easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 4 courgettes, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 potato, peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To begin, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, and cook until the onion is translucent. Add the courgettes and potato, and cook for another 5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Next, add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Serve hot with a garnish of fresh herbs or croutons, if desired.
