This is my son's favourite. The best way to get greens down him.

Sweat the onion and courgettes in the butter and oil over a low heat. Season with salt and pepper. Add the stock (the amount is a rough guide, add more if needed) and allow to simmer for 25 minutes or so. Blend until smooth.
Drizzle a little chilli oil and/or stir in a swirl of creme fraiche. Serve with some chunky wholemeal bread.
Wizzie stick! Brilliant!
Lucky you! Yes, stock amount is a guide, I do it by feel...
Courgettes make the most wonderful velvety textured soup. My husband has an allotment and we often get a glut, so I will make a huge batch and freeze it in portions.
This recipe is very similar to mine. I don't measure out the stock, I just add enough to just cover the courgettes in the pan. I liquidise it with my whizzy stick. It's very simple to make, and everyone loves it and are amazed when I tell them what it is.
