Courgette & Tomato Basil Soup: A Light and Flavourful Classic
This courgette tomato soup captures the essence of late summer, combining the subtle sweetness of courgettes with the rich, tangy notes of ripe tomatoes and the aromatic freshness of basil.
Perfect for cooler evenings, this vegan soup offers a comforting way to enjoy the season’s bounty. For optimal flavour, add the basil just before serving; if you plan to freeze the soup, omit the basil during cooking and incorporate it upon reheating. Serve with crusty bread or homemade croutons for a satisfying meal. This recipe is naturally vegan and easy to prepare, perfect for a light lunch or a simple dinner.
It is really lovely at this time of the year when trying to capture the last of the summer season’s flavours or have a glut of courgettes to use.

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!
So glad you enjoyed it Dawn! Annabelle x
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.
Thanks for your feedback. Annabelle
