Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Sharp Knife
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Immersion blender
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Ladle

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp BUTTER
  • 1 large ONION
  • 2 cloves GARLIC
  • 700 g COURGETTES
  • 700 ml VEGETABLE STOCK
  • 100 ml DOUBLE CREAM
  • 1 tsp SALT
  • 0.5 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Wash your green courgettes very well now. Trim the ends off with a sharp knife. Chop them into small even chunks today.

Step 2:

  • Peel and dice your medium white onion. Peel and mince the fresh garlic cloves. Set these aside on your large board.

Step 3:

  • Place the large pot on the stove. Turn the heat to a medium setting. Melt the butter until it starts bubbling.

Step 4:

  • Add the diced onion to the pot. Stir them gently with your wooden spoon. Cook until the onions look very soft.

Step 5:

  • Add the minced garlic to the pot. Stir it for about thirty seconds only. Do not let the garlic burn now.

Step 6:

  • Toss the chopped courgettes into the pot. Stir them to coat with the butter. Cook them for about five minutes.

Step 7:

  • Pour the vegetable stock into the pot. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a gentle boil.

Step 8:

  • Lower the heat to a soft simmer. Cover the pot with a tight lid. Cook for about fifteen to twenty minutes.

Step 9:

  • Check if the courgettes are very tender. Use a fork to test their softness. Turn off the heat on the stove.

Step 10:

  • Use your immersion blender in the pot. Blend until the soup is completely smooth. Be careful with the hot liquid splashes.

Step 11:

  • Pour in the rich double cream now. Stir it in until the color changes. Heat the soup gently before you serve.

Notes

Use very fresh courgettes for the best color.
Do not brown the onions too much today.
Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
Squeeze some lemon juice for a bright finish.
Always taste your soup before you serve it.
Keep the heat low after adding the cream.
Use a stand blender if you want it smoother.
