Having the children at home for the holidays means more mouths to feed than usual and with all the bargains I’ve been finding in Tesco lately (see my Facebook page) I’ve been making lots of soups for lunch.

I wasn’t intending to post this Caramelised Courgette Soup (aka Caramelised Zucchini Soup) so I didn’t write it down as I made it but it went down so well with the family I felt I should!

Indeed my son walked into the kitchen at lunchtime and said “Do we have to have courgette soup?” as if it was something we have all the time which it certainly isn’t.

Anyway, fast forward past my hurt feelings to the bit where he said (after emptying his bowl) “Actually that was really nice”.

The thing that makes this soup extra yummy is frying the courgettes until golden which along with the garlic gives them a lovely caramelised flavour.

There was plenty left for the following day and due to the potato in it, it thickened up overnight so you can just water it down a bit the following day!

    I haven’t made the soup yet but would like to make it without potato, would it work do you think? I could thicken it if needed.

    What a gorgeous, simple soup – pinned to try later! Courgettes have just started appearing in my weekly veg box, so I’ll be looking for recipes to use them up!

    Wonderful way to use up a glut of courgettes! Apparently in certain places people lock their doors only because they come home to gifts of courgettes otherwise!

      Thanks Emily:-) Gosh I’m so short of different bowls for my soup posts they all get used in rotation. I just have 2 of those blue bowls and can’t remember where I got them, we usually use them as serving bowls for nuts etc:-)
