Step 1: You will need

  • 60 ml olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 kg courgettes, roughly chopped
  • 350 ml chicken stock or vegetable stock
  • 350 ml water
  • 60 ml single cream
  • 6 sprigs of fresh dill
  • 50 g parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • honey to taste
  • 1 large saucepan
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 food processor or blender
  • 1 ladle
  • 4 soup bowls

Step 2: Heat the oil

Pour the olive oil into the saucepan and place it over a moderate heat.

Step 3: Cook the onions

Add the onions and sweat them until they become translucent.

Step 4: Add the garlic

Continue frying the onions as you add the garlic and cook both for a further minute.

Step 5: Add the courgettes, chicken stock, water, and cream

Next, add the courgettes, the stock, the water and the cream, and stir them together well.

Step 6: Bring to a boil

Allow the broth to come to a boil and then leave it to cook for twenty minutes.

Step 7: Add the dill and parmesan

After twenty minutes, add the dill and stir in the grated parmesan.

Step 8: Season with salt and pepper

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9: Transfer the soup to a food processor

Next, transfer the soup to a food processor and blend it into a smooth purée.

Step 10: Taste and make adjustments

Finally, taste the soup for flavouring. If you find it lacks sweetness, add a little honey. This will draw out the sweetness of the vegetables.

Step 11: Serve with a fresh green salad

Ladle the soup into four bowls, add a sprig of dill as a finishing touch and serve with a fresh green salad or crusty bread.
