Courgette & Parsley Soup

Comforting, versatile, colourful…soup is an all-round winner when it comes to packing in the veggies and plenty of flavour, too. This super easy recipe is a great way of using courgette, and a tasty working-from-home lunch option.

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Medium Onion, chopped
4 Courgette, cut into half-moons
4 Cups Vegetable Broth/Stock
1 Handful Flat Leaf Parsley, roughly chopped
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once it shimmers, add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 5-8 minutes.
Add courgette and cook until slightly translucent, 8-10 minutes.
Add broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until courgette is tender, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and add parsley.
Purée with an immersion blender or food processor, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
