Courgette Soup.

[carrust]

I've just made a big pan full of the above. I used about 6lbs of courgettes, 4 onions, some chicken stock & a jar of Pataks mild curry paste. I cooked it all up & blitzed it with a stick blender.
Surprisingly, it tastes excellent.

I am a vegetarian so I wouldn't use the chicken stock but otherwise it sounds yummy. I LOVE courgettes. Send me some, carrust xx

You're welcome to some Jan. Along with a load of runner beans.

[janbee]

Ok, send them 1st class post please. I love runner beans too. I assume you have a great vegetable garden or maybe an allotment?

[marval]

That sounds lovely carrust.

Allotment Jan. I'm just going to pick some autumn raspberries, they're far better tasting than the summer ones.

[janbee]

Oh don't, you're making my mouth water. Home grown raspberries... mmmm, the best. !

Last year was the year of the pumpkin on my allotment..I had loads. I did a similar recipe, but I swapped the curry paste for cumin, coriander & chilli.

I'd never tasted pumpkin until just a few years ago. I was very pleasantly surprised and made a whole load of soup with it all. It was gorgeous. Wish I had an allotment. I have a garden, but living in a town centre, it gets full of cat Krap and fox doo-doo. Oh joy...

If you have a glut of courgettes I can recommend this recipe.

Oh Eccles, that sounds different. Strange combination but I'll take your word for it that it's yummy. I've copied the recipe.

Courgettes, onions and loads of fresh basil and a bit of fresh mint - delicious. No need for stock cubes of any sort and definitely not curry paste - let the veg speak for themselves.
