with goat's cheese and croutons
What at first may seem like a simple soup becomes something altogether more special when you consider its components. Crunchy croutons, a goat's cheese crumble and spoonfuls of rich and flavourful pesto are just some of the reasons you're going to love this dish.

- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil 600ml water (double for 4p).
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
- Chop the potato into small cubes (peeling optional).
- Run a peeler lengthways along the courgette to create thin ribbons (three per person). Cut the remaining courgette into cubes.
- Place a large pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the leek until softened, 4-6 mins.
- Add the courgette cubes and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 3 mins.
- Increase the heat to high.
- Add the potato, boiling water, Middle Eastern spice and muscat to the pot.
- Bring back to the boil, cover and cook for 10 mins over medium-low heat.
- Meanwhile, place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry the courgette ribbons until tender, 4-5 mins. Turn halfway through.
- Roughly tear the baguettes into 2cm chunks.
- Pop onto a lined baking tray then toss with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bake in the oven until crispy and golden brown, 8-10 mins.
- Remove the soup from the heat and blend until smooth.
- Add a little extra water if the consistency is too thick.
- Add the pesto and stir to warm through.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide the soup between bowls.
