About

This is another recipe from Turkey – we did have a lot of courgettes in our garden! This soup sometimes had rice or chickpeas added for a bit more bulk, but I quite like it as a thinner soup, which is especially good in summer.

Ingredients

3 courgettes, washed and chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopp

Method

Fry one chopped courgette in a large saucepan with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until it is well browned. Remove and keep to one side in a small saucepan, ready to reheat.
Put the onion and the remaining olive oil into the large pan, put the lid on and cook for 5 m
