Courgette Potato Soup
A favourite soup of mine that my gran used to make us. It's simplicity at its best, with little more than onion, courgette and potato. A bit of cream really enhances the flavour at the end. Add fresh or dried herbs if you would like to embellish!

- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 large courgettes, chopped

Really good. Easy to make (my husband did it) and tasted wonderfully fresh. A good way to use up an allotment glut. We now have lots in the freezer. - 12 Aug 2014
Didn't really have high hopes for this, but we have a glut of courgettes so thought I'd give it a go. Wow - it really is delicious - really tasty and creamy (and I didn't add the cream) I used veg stock cubes and a red onion. Fabulous - I'll be looking forward to courgette season every year now - 09 Aug 2015
Very tasty. Great for using up the courgettes off the allotment. I substituted the cream with a tub of half fat creme fraiche. I will be recommending this to my allotment friends. - 05 Aug 2016
