  Fantastic recipe. I scaled down the recipe for 2 people and didn't have quite enough courgette so added in a carrot as well. Stunning flavours and so easy to make!

  Delicious soup! I used leeks instead of onions which worked well. It was almost a meal in itself. On of the best uses of my glut of courgettes!

  A really delicious taste combination. A glut of courgettes meant I was looking for recipes to use them and this fitted the bill. Spring onions rather than large ones mean that the fairly delicate taste of the courgettes still shines through.

  I made this the other day, halving the recipe and it still made 5 portions - very tasty.

  Amazing soup and talk about timing the book hardly landed on my doormat before the courgettes were being weighed out! With or without watering down a great soup.

  Just made this to use our glut of courgettes, as I didn't have spring onions I softened white onions in butter then completed as per recipe. hope it freezes well.

  Absolutely gorgeous - the kids (3 and 4) didn't stop raving about it and I've struggled to get one of them to eat soup before. Will definitely be making this again!

  This is surprisingly delicious, and very easy/lazy! I've never made soup without sweating the vegetable in oil before and I don't think I'll bother again after doing it this way, it's so much easier. I didn't have any onions so I used some garlic which worked well. I think I would peel the potatoes next time as some of the skin wouldn't blitz completely and it's effected the texture. I'm going back for seconds...

  Can't believe a soup so simple to make could be so tasty. I left my soup a little bit chunky as my husband prefers it like that. Such a good way to use up courgettes.

  Really love this - great way to use up GIANT courgettes and agree with the comment that it's great not having to sweat veg etc. I don't generally add much salt to my food but I did find that salt was the way to combat blandness with this soup - maybe an even more matuer cheddar would have done the trick.
