Method
- Chop the onion and garlic cloves. Wash the courgettes and slice them into rounds, skin on.
- In a pot, heat half the olive oil over medium heat and soften the onion with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
- Add the courgette and cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Add 400 ml of water and the remaining salt, bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat.
- Blend with a stick blender until smooth and velvety. Season with the black pepper, stir in the rest of the olive oil raw and serve hot.
Shopping tip
With little water it turns creamy without potato or cream. With large garden courgettes, remove the central seeds, which turn bitter.
