CREAMY COURGETTE (ZUCCHINI) OR CUCUMBER SOUP.
This is actually an old recipe of my mothers & the whole family loves it. I interchange courgettes & cucumbers depending on what's cheapest at the market! Courgettes make a wonderful creamy soup - with only a little actual cream needed & the cucumbers make a very light & refreshing summertime soup. My 2 1/2 year old daughter adores this soup & loves to stand next to me in the kitchen & help make it.

Steps:
- Trim the ends off the courgettes / cucumber. Roughly chop along with the onion & gently fry in a large pan with the olive oil.
- When the vegetables are soft & lightly coloured, add the seasonings, stock cube & the water. Cover & simmer for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, blend until smooth with an immersion blender (stick blender) or in the liquidizer.
- Check for seasoning, adjust if necessary. If you like the soup thicker, thicken using the flour & water. (Mix the flour with a little cold water, add a few tbsp of the soup to the flour mix, stir well then add to the soup - mix well to avoid any lumps.
- Remove from the heat & stir in the cream, reserving 4 tbsp for later.
- Pour the soup into bowls, drizzle a swirl of 1 tbsp cream over each bowl of soup (or a little less if serving 6) & top with a few fresh basil leaves.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm zucchini and cucumber. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your soup.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the vegetables thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the vegetables. If you do, they will steam instead of sautéing, which will result in a less flavorful soup.
- Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add herbs like dill or basil for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot or cold. It's delicious either way!
