30 min
Difficulty: 2/3
European

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.

Preparation
1
Get Prepped

  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil 600ml water (double for 4p) in a pot (or your kettle). 
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Cut the potato into small cubes (peeling optional). 
  • Run a peeler lengthways along the courgette to create thin ribbons (3 per person). Cut the remaining courgette into cubes.

2
Soften the Veg

  • Place a large pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the onion and fry until softened, 2 mins.
  • Add the courgette cubes and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 3 mins.

3
Add the Potatoes

  • Raise the heat to high.
  • Add the chopped potatoes, boiled 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.

4
Make the Croutons

  • 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.
  • Warm in the oven until golden brown, 8-10 mins.

5
Finish the Soup

  • Remove the soup from the heat and blend until smooth. 
  • Add a little extra water if the soup is too thick.
  • Add the pesto and stir to warm through.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6
Garnish and Serve

  • Divide the soup between your bowls.
  • Top with the crunchy croutons and crumble over the goat's cheese.
  • Garnish with the tender courgette ribbons.
