    Tomato and courgette soup is a simple tasty and really easy to make soup. Nutritious and low cost you'll want to add this to your quick healthy meals list, especially for lunch!

    Birds eye view of two bowls of tomato and courgette soup alongside a napkin, two spoons and salt and pepper cellars.

    Folks, this delicious tomato and courgette soup was made from leftovers.

    Now, my U.S. friends might be more familiar with this soup known as tomato and zucchini soup or zucchini tomato soup.

    But what's the difference in the name of a vegetable between friends?

    For this particular recipe I found I had some tinned tomatoes left over from another recipe. So I threw the tomatoes into a pot with a couple of courgettes, blitzed them together and came up with this amazing soup!

    Quick to make, low calorie, healthy and really light on the stomach too, it's one I now make A LOT.

    I reckon you might want to do the same too after tasting it.

    Especially if you're wondering what you can make with courgettes and tomatoes!

    How To Make Tomato and Courgette Soup

    1. In a large pot spray the bottom with cooking oil spray or use 1 tablespoon olive oil.
    2. Add the onion and sauté stirring frequently until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
    3. Add the courgettes (zucchini) again stir well and cook both together for a further 2 - 3 minutes until both are softenned.
    4. Add the tinned tomatoes, stir together and then add the tomato puree.
    5. Add the vegetable stock, bring the mixture to the boil, and then turn down to simmer on a low heat for approximately 25 minutes.
    6. Allow the soup to cool then puree in batches in a blender.
    7. Return the pureed soup to the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste.
    8. Serve garnished with basil or parsley.

      Could you use fresh tomatoes instead of tines? If so how would you add them? Should you cook them 1st in the oven? Thank you so much.

        Hi Petrina, the tomatoes in this soup are the ingredient that gives it it's main flavour and taste. So, I do not know how it would turn out if you used fresh tomatoes, having never done that myself.

        The tomatoes need to be soft and pureed before adding to this soup. So you could yes, as you suggest, roast them in the oven first to get them completely soft or saute them on the stove in a pan. Bearing in mind if you saute them in any oils you would alter the nutritional label. So, roasting then in the oven sounds best! ๐Ÿ™‚

        Let me know you get on, so we can advise others here? Thanks!

      I think your nutrition info is for the whole recipe. The values seem much too high for 1/6 of the recipe (1 serving).
