Method
- Before cooking, measure these ingredients: 650 g courgettes and 1 onion. Set out the remaining ingredients, cookware and utensils so everything is ready.
- Dice courgettes and potato, and chop the onion.
- Sauté the onion in oil, add vegetables and stock. Simmer for 18 minutes.
- Add mint and lemon juice, then blend the soup until smooth.
- Before serving, check: Check the largest piece with a fork before blending: it should break easily. Use a stick blender in a pan that is not filled to the brim to avoid splashes.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Cut vegetables into similarly sized pieces so they soften evenly rather than leaving hard chunks in the soup.
- Check the largest piece with a fork before blending: it should break easily. Use a stick blender in a pan that is not filled to the brim to avoid splashes.
- If too thick, stir in a little hot water. If too thin, simmer gently uncovered for a few minutes. Adjust the liquid gradually.
