COURGETTE SOUP WITH ROASTED POTATOES


I cook soup a couple of times a week and it's not always creams. Sometimes I want one that shows all the ingredients and I know what I'm eating. Fresh ginger and lime juice added to the soup keep it fresh, while a sprig of thyme and tarragon from the garden signals my taste buds that it's summer. And baked potatoes smell all over the house and signal to household members that it's time for dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp of coconut oil
  • 2 shallots
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 45 g of the white part of the leek
  • 1/2 teaspoon of  vegetable seasoning (grind dried vegetables, salt, turmeric, granulated garlic and store in a jar)
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 315 g of courgette
  • 160 g of peeled potatoes
