Tomato and Courgette Soup

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!

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!
