Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the leeks for a few mins to soften. Add the courgettes, then cover the pan and cook for 5 mins more. Pour in the stock, cover and cook for about 7 mins.

  • step 2

    Add the spinach, then cover the pan and cook for 5 mins so that it wilts. Take off the heat and blitz until really smooth with a hand blender. Add the goat’s cheese and basil, then blitz again.

  • step 3

    If you're making this recipe as part of our two-person Summer Healthy Diet Plan, spoon half the soup into two bowls or large flasks, then cool and chill the remainder for another day. Reheat in a pan or microwave to serve. If serving in bowls, scatter with some extra basil leaves and the seeds, and eat with the rye bread.

Whoops…sorry, meant to add that supermarket had no courgettes today, so used broccoli instead and it worked a treat. Recipe measurements all work a treat.

Super yummy! Super Easy!

Delicious. Made with a firm fairly light goats cheese and added white pepper. Probably makes more like 6 servings

i made a batch of this to take to work - lasted well over 4 days and it tasted delicious. Really filled you up too

Absolutely delicious, the goats cheese softens the greens taste and is very filling! I used a garlic and herb goats cheese to give extra flavour. Lovely Autumn/winter warmer which will hopefully improve my iron levels & energy!
