This simple Leek and Courgette Soup is super delicious, chunky and vegan! Perfect for lunch or as a starter.
Gosh, it seems like an age since I last posted a recipe (just over a week) but having 2 children home for the Easter holidays means getting some quiet time to myself has not been easy so hence the radio silence!
I don’t know about you but after overindulging on chocolate over the Easter period all I want to do is eat lots of healthy vegetable-based food.
This Leek and Courgette Soup came about one lunchtime when there wasn’t much left in the fridge so these ingredients just found each other and became soup!
My family was very impressed with my chunky soup creation so I’ll be making this again.
I always feel better when I’ve given the family a healthy bowl of soup packed full of vegetables so it’s a win/win situation all around!
As this dish is so thrifty, seasonal and used up ingredients left in the fridge I’m entering it into:
- Credit Crunch Munch – hosted by From Plate to Pen and run by myself and Fuss Free Flavours
- No Waste Food Challenge – run by Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary
- Simple and in Season – run by Feeding Boys
- Extra Veg – run by Fuss Free Flavours and Utterly Scrummy who is hosting this month.

I make a lot of soup and this is a combination that I have not thought of, must give it a try
Camilla
Thanks, it works so well:-)
Maya Russell
Love leeks but I’m not keen on courgettes so I would probably blend this soup. Lovely colour to the soup.
Camilla
That’s a shame, the chunks really make this soup:-)
Elizabeth
MMm loving the sound of this soup! Gorgeous colour too! Thank you for sharing with the No Waste Food Challenge!
Camilla
Thanks Elizabeth, it is a fab soup:-)
Kavey
As these are two of the vegetables we grow, this soup is very much the kind of recipe we would make and it looks delicious!
Camilla
Thanks Kavey, wish I had green fingers where veg are concerned!
