Courgette & tomato soup

I am not a fan of tomato soup but I grew a ginormous courgette and I had deliciously looking tomatoes from the Isle of Wight. I couldn't resist cooking something with both. 

This recipe from www.bbcgoodfood.com caught my eye I am extremely pleased with it. It is super simple and incredibly tasty. My partner says it tastes like a mild tomato soup.

Serves: 8 persons.

Ingredients:

• 20g butter (change to olive oil for a vegan alternative)
• 2 large onions (450g), chopped
• 1145 g courgette, peeled and diced
• 1145 g tomatoes, diced
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1l vegetable stock
• salt & pepper to taste

Method:

1. Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the onions and courgettes and cook for 5 min on a medium heat, stirring occasionally.
