Method

  • step 1

    Melt the butter in a large pan, add the onions and courgettes, and cook for 5 mins on a medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  • step 2

    Add the tomatoes and flour. Cook for a couple of mins, stirring around to stop the flour from becoming lumpy. Add the turmeric and stock, cover and simmer for 30 mins.

  • step 3

    Purée with a stick blender, then sieve if you want a really smooth texture. Serve hot with crusty bread, if you like, or chill, then freeze for up to 2 months.

I thought it was bland and disappointing I'm afraid. Now need to add more chili and garlic to make it good enought for the two of us. Not one I would inflict on others - edible but not one I will repeat. Thanks for the hint of less water or it wuld be even less than 2 stars

A great recipe. I made it last week and will be making again tomorrow for the Freezer as we get used to just how many Courgettes we are having from our new Allotment! I did use less stock though, about 800ml, and kept it as a chunkier soup.
