  Just made this for lunch- omitted the cream as wastching my weight!! It was delicious- I served it warm rather than cold. So simple and fantasic results with such basic ingredients.Will be making more as I have a glut of courgettes in the garden. Will also be trying the courgette chutney.

  Have just made this as I have got fed up of courgette pasta, courgette risotto, courgette frittata etc (yes a glut from the garden), and it's gorgeous! The neighbours will no longer be given my excess courgettes, my freezer will be filled with yummy soup. Didn't have any dried mint, just used extra fresh mint (also taking over the garden).

  Tried this as I too have a glut of courgettes at the moment - and the result was great! Think I might add a little more mint next time or maybe change tack and add some coriander - will keep you posted on that! Also have a suspicion that this might also be good hot.

  Just made this soup with courgettes and mint from garden. I thought the amount of liquid was rather a lot considering that courgettes are full of water anyway. I used just one pint and used chicken stock instead of vegetable bouillon. The end result was excellent and I will certainly make this again.

  My neighbour got back from holiday and gave me a marrow-sized courgette from her allotment this morning. This afternoon I found this recipe, and within 30 minutes I was dishing out 4 cups to take down the allotment to 2 women, a man and a teenage boy and they all loved it. I did serve it hot as I'm not really a fan of cold soup

  This is an easy recipe to make, but I found that the flavours were a bit bland. However, I did it eat warm so this may be the reason for why I found it less interesting... The addition of the cream gives more depth to the flavours, so I woulnd't skip out on it!
