Courgette & Tomato Basil Soup [vegan] by The Flexitarian - Annabelle Randles

This Courgette & Tomato Basil Soup makes a delicious soup perfect for colder evenings. It’s is really lovely at this time of the year when trying to capture the last of Summer’s flavours.

If you want to freeze it, just leave the basil out. Simply add it when reheating the soup.

Enjoy it with crusty bread or croutons!

    I loved this. Used up some tomatoes that had gone soft, and courgettes from my garden. I skinned the tomatoes first. Also used slightly less than the stated amount of liquid, as we prefer a thick soup. Made double quantity to use up all my veg, and ensure plenty for lunches in the week!

    This was quite nice although I would use less water next time. I added a bit of chilli as it was a little bland maybe.
