Ingredients
  

  • Soup Base
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 leek sliced
  • 400 g courgettes sliced
  • 1 medium potato diced
  • 500 ml vegetable stock
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-Bottomed Pot – Ensures even heat distribution
  • 1 High-Powered Blender – Creates a smooth, creamy texture
  • 1 Sharp Knife – Makes chopping quick and safe

Method
 

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced leek, courgettes, and diced potato. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Season & Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with optional toppings.
