I like soup and sometimes it just hits the spot when you don't want a really filling comfort meal. Depends on the soup so something such as Tuscan bean and beef or a hearty leak and potato with crusty bread is a meal in itself but tonight's tea is a summer style refreshing soup with I served with garlic and coriander tortillas; somehow after the weekend when you have probably indulged this seems perfect!
I took this recipe from a smashing book which I got for my birthday called Spooning with Rosie. The book is written by a woman who has opened up a cafe in Brixton Market, the cafe looks lovely and funnily enough I have wondered about the possibility of opening something similar in Leeds market but just not sure if it would work... stuck amongst the bacon butty's and egg and chips (both lavly by the way!). I know that Leeds is lacking a good cafe as the only place we really go to is Pasta Romana and that's mainly for the singing Italian woman and the ambiance as they say!
Anyway, here we go
3 x courgettes
3 x clove of garlic
litre of vegetable stock
Can of chickpeas
Handful of mint- just the leaves, no need to chop
1/2 block of Feta - cubed
1/2 lemon
Cube the courgettes and fry in a little olive oil
Roughly chop the garlic and throw in
After about 5 mins when the courgettes have sweated down then add the stock, chick peas and mint and simmer for about 20 mins
Blitz with a hand blender, add juice of lemon and Feta cheese and pepper to taste.
