Notes

1. Known as Courguettes in the UK and some parts of Europe. You will need about 6 medium ones (about 20cm/8" long, 4cm / 1.5" wide), or 8 small ones, or 4 - 5 large ones.

2. The cream adds a touch of richness to an otherwise very healthy soup. Feel free to use a low fat cream if you prefer, or creme fraise or mascarpone. Or even a good knob of butter!

3. BLENDER: To use a blender, you must cool slightly before whizzing otherwise the heat will expand, the lid will blow off and you’ll get soup EVERYWHERE – trust me, I’ve made this mistake and it will even get on the ceiling! Whizz in 2 or 3 batches then return to pot.

4. Nutrition per serving, assuming 5 serving. Excludes cream garnishes, bread etc. If the cream is omitted from the recipe, it reduces to 98 calories per serving.
