Snowed under with courgettes - just thought I would share a soup recipe I have just made.
I never throw away any water (stock) I have boiled vegetables in, the stock that happened to fall out of the freezer on this occasion was cabbage & spinach.
The recipe.....
Put about 1 litre of homemade stock in a pan to heat up.
Meanwhile....
Fry 3 onions and an equal quantity of courgettes both finely chopped in a BIG pan for about an hour or until very soft and very sweet. Use plenty of oil.
Add a good tablespoon of flour and stir in.
Add a piece of cheese (chopped) about the size of one or two fag packets.
Add carton of Ricotta.
Start adding warm stock gradually and continue stirring until the soup is fairly hot and the cheese has melted.
Blitz with blender and add pepper to taste.
