Courgette & Potato Soup

I craved a filling and wholesome soup and wanted to finish up a few veggies before my next organic fruit and vegetable delivery.  This easy and delicious soup was the answer.

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 medium onions - diced
2 large garlic cloves - chopped
1 leek - sliced
4 large courgettes (zucchini) - cut into chunks
7 small potatoes - cut into chunks
4 cups vegetable stock
150ml cream cheese with chives (you could use one without the chives, but this was what I had in the fridge.  I probably would have added chives anyway!)
parsley - chopped
lemon


Cook onions, garlic and leek in a little oil, until just starting to brown.  Add courgettes and potatoes, stirring until softened.  Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to the boil, then simmer for approx. 20-30 minutes.

Cool slightly, then blend all together.

Stir in cream cheese and parsley, with a good squeeze of lemon juice.  Serve with cornbread muffins - recipe found at: In Caryl's Kitchen: Cornbread Muffins.

Enjoy!
