Great seasonal soup.

I tried this soup in a local farm shop and it was delicious. I found this recipe and thought I would give it a go. It was easy to make and actually tasted like the cafe version. If not better!!!
A fantastic favourite!

This has got to be my favourite soup of all time. We found this receipe in the Dairy Diary quite a few years ago now and have been making it ever since! You must try this!
A garnish with taste

I found this recipe (without the garlic I think in the fabulous TeaPot Trail series of recipe books (UK).
Instead of thinly sliced courgettes as garnish - visually coherent, but tasteless - I prefer a paper thin slice of lemon "butterflied" on each serving with a tiny sprig of fresh mint. These two garnishes when swirled into the soup add a perkiness which complements the creaminess of the courgettes and milk and offset the smokiness of the cumin. Worth trying!
