Cheesy Courgette Soup

It's autumn and although the weather is still warm I felt like making some soup to have as a tummy warmer in the evening.

This recipe was given to me by a guest minister who visited a church we were attending when the tripolatas were born. The type of cheese used may be a surprise to you as it was to me, but don't turn your nose up at it.

Here's what you'll need: Serves 4

A knob of butter
1 onion
2 courgettes (zucchini)
1 litre of stock such a bouillon
3 - 4 cheese triangles
salt and pepper to taste

Here's what you'll need to do:

1. Melt the butter in a pan

2. Sauté the onions until soft and translucent

3. Add the courgette and cook for 3 minutes

4. Add the stock and bring to boil

5. Add the cheese and then season with salt and pepper once the cheese has melted.

6. Cover and cook over a medium heat for a further 5 minutes or until the courgette is cooked. Leave to cool, and then blend. 

Return to the pan and warm through before serving.

Serve with bread, croutons or whatever takes your fancy.

Eat and enjoy.
