Simple Courgette Soup

It’s that time of year again; dark, cold nights, wooly winter warmers and the need to fill your tummy with something hot and comforting. This soup is great all year round, and is super easy to make. Courgettes (or zucchini, depending on where in the world you are) are tasty, versatile and easy to find.
