Soup

    Courgette and rocket soup

    So many courgettes in the allotment - this is a good way to use them up. We also spice it up slightly by adding a spot of curry powder.

    
1 large onion
olive oil
1 potato
4 courgettes
100g rocket (1 bag)
850ml vegetable stock, made from boullion powder.

    Fry the onion in the oil until soft and add the potato chopped really small, and cook these for 5 mins or so. The potato thickens the soup, so we prefer a small potato. Add the chopped courgettes and the stock and season well, then simmer until the courgettes are soft. When almost there, add the rocket - if it's added too soon, the soup loses its vibrancy. Blitz the whole lot until smooth and silky.
