Just what I needed, yet again I have been rescued by my fellow omletteers! Have just been out to the garden (having not ventured out yesterday for fear of what I might find!), I'm sure there must be at least twelve courgettes/marrows out there and I already have 4 in my fridge from Saturday! Guess what's for tea tonight! And for dessert!

Just flagging this delicious recipe up again,as we are well courgette season.

I made a batch yesterday,and all the family loved it......another lot for the freezer today,too

Excellent, I am always keen for recipes for the dreaded courgette glut!

I will also be experimenting with cream of celery soup this week, I have 4 huuuge heads of celery all ready to be used and no idea how else I can use celery in bulk

Just thought I'd bump this

 

OH decided he didn't want chocolate courgette cake as he's trying to cut back on naughty food

 

But I needed a way to use our courgette glut, so I thought to myself "I'll type courgette into the all things nice search and see what happens". I came upon this soup

 

I too used onion, I didn't have any tarragon so used mixed Italian herbs, and I also chucked in some garlic. The result was an acceptable soup. Not the best soup I've ever tasted, but certainly nowhere near the worst!

 

OH announced "I'm not eating courgette soup, it'll be disgusting" so I politely informed him that it was courgette soup that I was making for lunch so he could take it or leave it... He took it... And said that it tasted nicer than he expected.

 

We've now got a portion each for lunch tomorrow or to stick in the freezer, and my fridge now only has a few squashes and some yellow courgettes

Here is a courgette soup that I tried yesterday and it worked out well. Thought I would post it incase anyone wanted a slightly different soup to use up those courgettes

 

1 lbs courgettes sliced

2 medium potatoes chopped

1 onion chopped

2 pts stock (chicken & veg)

8 ozs somerset brie (in pieces)

salt/pepper

 

Saute the vegetables then add the stock and simmer for 15 min

Cool slightly, add brie and stir until melted

Liquidise

 

ps. I cut off most of the rind of the brie.

 

I must try that cake recipe. I will need to pick the courgettes as the slugs are working their way through them

I have yet to make this soup this year, but I do find that it is the tarragon that makes it, I do wonder if fennel would work too, because it also has a light aniseed flavour.

Wish I had a courgette glut

[Cinnamon]

Have some of mine - even the hens are sick of them now!

 

I agree that the tarragon makes the soup - don't think it would be the same with any other herb or flavouring.

On my way I thought I was going to have a glut and then it stopped
