Delicious! Really simple but really tasty. Made a huge batch and will freeze some.
What a great site. Wish I’d found it last year rather than throwing loads of stuff away that I didn’t know what to do with. Thanks.
easy to make, tastes great make double quantity it goes quick.
So simple to make and lovely flavour. Just added some bits of cooked chicken and a meal in its self.
Made this soup a couple of times. Last time I only used 1/2 pint of chicken stock (instead of 3/4) and found that this made a lovely thick soup with the same great flavour. Actualy preferred it to the original! So nice tasting that this will be our Xmas dinner starter!
I would like to start off by saying thank you. I made this last week for me and my husband as a starter and it was delicious, we both love it! I’m sure to make it again soon. Thank you once again.
Great recipe, we like it spicier so add a teaspoon each of chilli powder and ground ginger with the other spices and a can of coconut milk instead of fresh milk (or some of each) not too hot but very warming on a rainy day with the last of the courgettes! Definitely will be freezing some. Thanks for the inspiration!
Very very good soup, full of flavour. I also added the ginger and a few chilli flakes for heat and then balanced it with a good dollop of cream. Thanks for the recipe
Brilliant!
Can I freeze this soup for the winter. Thanks and regards. Michele
Yes you can. See top of recipe.
Really fab soup. It was worth growing courgettes after all!
Was looking out for a new C recipe as struggling to get through our current crop. I used some overgrown ones and the result was superb. Will be cooking up a larger batch next for freezing 😉
Turned out gorgeous, didn’t have cumin so I used a small chilli , this will be my packed lunch tomorrow.
Many thanks
Delicious soup, made from my glut of courgettes. I live in France and translated it (badly probably) for my neighbour who loves it. Merci from both of us
Love this recipe. So full of flavour and so easy to make. Thank you.
