NOTES FOR THE COOK
First, the choice of cheese. This recipe uses soft cheese because it is cheap. You could use any soft cheese though, brie and stilton taste good. But in the end they didn't improve the taste to our mind.

This soup can be frozen but only before the cheese is added. You would need to add the cheese after the soup has been re-heated.

INGREDIENTS
Ingredients for Courgete and Cheese Soup

Ingredients Metric Imperial
Courgettes 1kg 2.2lb
Potatoes 250g 9oz
Soft cheese 150g 5oz
Medium onion 1
Garlic cloves 3
Bunch of fresh chives 1
Bunch of parsley 1
Olive oil 3 tablespoons
Vegetable stock 850ml 1½ pints
Salt and Pepper To taste

COOKING EQUIPMENT
1 large pan

PREPARATION
Wash the courgettes, slice off the top and bottom tips then cut the courgettes into slices, roughly 1 cm (½in thick).
Peel the potatoes then cut them into small cubes (roughly 1cm / ½in).
Peel the onion the slice it.
Peel and finely chop or crush the garlic.
Finely chop the chives and parsley.

Cooking Method

Courgettes cooking Heat the oil on a low heat and add the onions. Cook for five minutes stirring frequently. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for a further 15 minutes. Stir the mix frequently because the potatoes can stick to the bottom of the pan.

Add the courgettes and garlic and cook for another seven minutes. Again, stir frequently to stop the ingredients sticking.

 
Add the stock, salt and pepper to the pan and then bring it to the boil. Turn the heat down so the soup just simmers and cook for a further 12 minutes. Liquidise the soup in a blender.

Return the soup to the pan on a low heat. Add the chives, parsley and soft cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese is blended in.

Make sure you put enough seasoning in (for your own taste). I made
it for the first time using my home grown courgettes after having two
wisdom teeth out. It was a good meal and tastes fab.

A hearty soup, enjoyed with home-made bread. I used brie cheese (including the rind) and it melted in beautifully.
