Courgette Soup / Slimming World Recipe

I am currently trying to go meat free for a month (give or take my trip to Reds BBQ next week!) in an attempt to lose some weight and get out of my same old eating habits. I actually love cooking but being in my last year at uni, part time work and an internship has meant I have become lazy and sticking to the same few easy foods , so I’m hoping being a temporary vegetarian will help push me out of my comfort zone.

This recipe for courgette soup is actually a slimming world recipe (I believe it is one healthy extra point for a serving) I stole from my step mum because it tastes SO DAMN GOOD! I’ve made it loads of times because it is so simple, quick and healthy. It has a creamy, broccoli courgette-y taste, and goes amazing with crusty bread. As all soup was meant to do!

Makes a HUGE batch (enough for having friends over, or a few huge bowls for yourself)

Three courgettes
1 Tablespoon bouillon
4 laughing cow cheese triangles (in light if you want it for slimming world)
Boiling water

Roughly chop the courgettes and put them in a saucepan. Add the bouillon and pour enough boiling water to just cover the courgettes. Simmer until the courgettes are soft (about 15-20 minutes). Blend, then add in the triangles and stir until they are melted.

Thickly chop the courgettes

Add one tablespoon Bouillon

Add enough water to cover the courgettes

Stir in the triangles and melt

That’s it! So simple and easy. I think it works out about 70 calories for a bowl as well, meaning you can nip back and have more whenever you’re feeling hungry (or bored) without any guilt.

Have any of you tried this recipe before? Or are you thinking of trying it now? Let me know what you think!
