Ingredients

 

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 4 cloves garlic, sliced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 4 medium courgettes, diced (I used half an enormous yellow courgette the size of a marrow and could have easily used the entire vegetable!)

• 125g grated parmesan

• Seasoning

 

To Garnish

 

• Drizzle Virgin Olive Oil

• Sprinkling of Dukkah

• Diced cooked courgette or Courgetti that has been stir fried for one minute in olive oil.

 

 

 

Method

 

1. In a large pot sweat the chopped onion and sliced garlic in the olive oil until golden.
    

2. Add the courgettes and stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
    

3. Blend the soup until smooth, then add the parmesan and blend again.
    

4. Taste and add a little seasoning with Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
    

5. Serve immediately with fresh crusty bread.
