  Quick to make and really tastey. I can't find watercress in berlin so I replaced it with rocket, still tasted good.

  I thought this was a lovely soup, I didn't have Greek yoghurt so I used a bit of single cream. It was so fresh tasting. It's given me inspiration to make more soups.

  What a great soup this is; Lovely colour and so fresh tasting. I used a huge handful of rocket from the garden and a bag of watercress and made double quantity for lunch the next day and some for the freezer. I added 3 cloves of garlic and did not add the yogurt until it was served up wih an oven warmed baguette.

  lovely. So easy and delicious . Served it with a poached egg in to make it a bit more filling. I used baby leaf spinach as I dont like courgettes. So nice the kids have already asked that I make it again

  Really refreshing, even on a hot day. I made mine with Watercress,Rocket & Spinach. The rocket gave it a nice peppery taste.

  I've made this twice now and it was very easy and quick to put together, and was very popular both times. It's nice hot or cold, and it was still nice when rocket was substituted for watercress and natural yoghurt for greek yoghurt. Recommended!

  super fast, and easy to make. very light and fresh tasting. didn't have greek yoghurt so used a bit of single cream. personally... would probably used at least 2 bags of watercress next time, and a bit less mint, other than that.... highly recommended!

  Really quick and easy to make and turned out well. The only thing I would change would be to add more mint when I make it again. I made enough for four with the idea of having leftovers but between us, my husband and I polished it off in one sitting!

  This soup was really tasty, used spinach instead of watercress as that's all I had and it turned out really nicely. Lovely with brown bread and homemade hummus.

  This was an easy soup to make and also very tasty. I found that the watercress took some blending as parts of it got wrapped around my hand blender - so I couldnt get as smooth as the soup shown in the image.

  I have made this soup several times now when we have had guests for dinner and each time I have been asked for a copy of the recipe! It is a really lovely soup and I don't change a thing! I serve it with garlic bread.

  An easy peasey soup that is absolutely delicious!!! Great for an enthusiastic courgette plant. Full of flavour I have made it several times and the yogurt gives it a creamier edge.

  Have made this soup in Spain many times for me and my husband,but today I was making it for a supper party and could not buy any watercress so used rocket instead,definitely not as good but ok,very disappointing as I wanted to give my guests a treat.We love it served with a small amount of Greek Yoghurt on the top.
