Courgette, Rocket and Pea Soup

This deliciously fresh and super green soup, I’m happy to say, is made from nearly all just picked ingredients from the garden.

It came about as I came home to find the most enormous courgette I’ve ever seen (and round!) in the kitchen.

Clearly, the only thing to be done was to make some soup; however, as I didn’t have many other ingredients, some creatively was called for.

So, some spring onions, rocket, and basil from the garden and some organic frozen peas for some protein, sweetness and to make the soup more substantial.

I’m really pleased, so delicious and super healthy. Yay!

I don’t know about you, but I used to be slightly nervous about making soup – I’ve really got no idea why, as they are the easiest things to make ever.

You just can’t go too far wrong if you start with onions, garlic, and veg stock as a base and then use one key veg.

For example; tomatoes, butternut squash, carrots, peas, courgette, sweet potato, parsnip, broccoli, and then add in lots of herbs and season really well.

I always like to add in some pulses, beans, nut butter, tahini, or seeds for protein, texture, and crunch.
