A delicious Caramelised Courgette Soup, perfect for using up a glut of courgettes.

Caramelised Courgette Soup has a beautiful depth of flavour! - Fab Food 4 All

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 spur of the moment soups for lunch.

I wasn’t intending to post this Caramelised Courgette Soup so 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 lunch time and said “do we have to have courgette soup?” as if it was something we have all the time which is 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 over night so you can just water it down a bit the following day!

As this soup is made with bargain courgettes and celery I am entering it into Credit Crunch Munch which I am hosting this month and run with Fuss Free Flavours. Next I’m entering Extra Veg also run by Fuss Free Flavours and co-hosted by Utterly Scrummy this month. I’m entering No Waste Food Challenge run by  Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary and finally Simple and in Season over at Ren Behan!

    Ah, I remember the days when we grew them and harvested so many courgettes we didn’t know what to do with them in the end. Soup is definitely the way to go. You should try adding avocado with it!
