Soup, soup, soup. I do not know about you, but I can eat soup every single day of the week. Especially when it is made purely of vegetables. I really consider this a great way to eat your 5 a day.
I have been on the orange side a lot with red lentil soup, pumpkin soup, sweet potato soup, sweet potato and carrot soup… so it was time for some change. After my pea soup and broccoli soup recipes, I wanted something a little lighter with a bit of a spring touch to it. One of the vegetables I always have at home is courgette. You can make so many different dishes with it, great for grilling, courgette fritters, ratatouille and so on. And excellent to make a really simple but pure soup. The soup itself is vegan. As a topping I chose goats cheese, which is not vegan at all, but feel free to leave it out or replace it with some coconut yoghurt or vegan cheese.
