what goes with Courgettes?

[crisgal]

I've got some nice Courgettes and fancy making soup.I do make soup often but have never done Courgette. Would tomato go nice with it? Or roasted peppers?

[ummmm]

They both will over power it, they don't taste of much.

[weecalf]

would cigarette go with them sound like they would to me

[sallybb]

Both would go well. You could try chopping all ingredients up together even add some onions and garlic, and roasting them in oven with some seasoning and olive oil . For about 30mins or until cooked before liquidizing with additional water.

[ummmm]

Brie might work well because that's quite mild as well.

I usually do carrot and courgette ribbons. Courgette is also nice grated in a salad...

[boxtops]

You need the onions

Add onion, garlic and potatoes with some basil, oregano, chives and blitz with a little cream .... serve with parmesan croutons (little heaps of grated parmesan baked on low until set and golden) Yum!

I just do courgette soup on it`s own as the flavour is quite delicate. I do start off with a finely chopped shallot though. Saute shallot and sliced courgette in butter to sweat. Then add a mix of chicken stock and veg stock. I add white pepper and salt to taste and that`s it really. You could add a little garlic. Then blend in blender.

Avoid toms. ..... as said above, will totally overpower imho

[237SJ]

Oh yes, I forgot. I stick a sliced potato in to add thickness.

Sorry I should have said: I always start any soup worth onion garlic and celery leaves, then add the main veg with stock. I made a celery, white onion and fennel last week. It was delish! I was concerned that Courgettes on their own would be dull.

My Grandma makes carrot and courgette soup. I don't know her recipe though, sorry.

[shivvy]

I have made this a few times and it is lovely . . .

Courgette and mint soup is delicious especially with a little feta or goats cheese crumbled on top before serving.

I make a tomatoe based suop with courgettes, it will be fine.
alternatively you could make a simple courgette curry. Butter curry paste courgettes...simple quick and tastes beautiful.

good grief methyl! It was white onion, fennel and celery soup! I don't put those ingredients for every soup! what are you on about?

Courgettes don't really taste of very much, but a nice addition would be to add Philadelphia or The Laughing Cow cheese when liquidising the soup.
