Pesto and Courgette Soup
with goat's cheese and crispy croutons
What at first may seem like a simple soup becomes something altogether more decadent when you consider its components. Brioche croutons, a goat's cheese crumble and spoonfuls of rich and flavourful pesto are just some of the reasons you're going to love this dish.

Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Boil 600ml water (double for 4p) in a pot (or your kettle).
- Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Chop the potato into small cubes (peeling optional).
- Run a peeler lengthways along the courgette to create thin ribbons (3 per person). Cut the remaining courgette into cubes.
2
- Place a pan over medium heat (without oil).
- Once hot, add the sesame seeds and dry-fry, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins. Remove from pan and keep aside.
- Place a medium pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the onion and fry until softened, 2 mins.
- Add the courgette cubes and cook, stirring, for 3 mins.
TIP: Watch the sesame seeds like a hawk as they can burn easily.
3
- Turn the heat to high and add the chopped potatoes, boiled water and vegetable stock to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Cover and cook for 10 mins over medium-low heat.
- Meanwhile, return your now empty pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry the courgette ribbons for 5 mins. Turn halfway through.
4
- Roughly tear the brioche buns into 2cm chunks.
- Pop onto a lined baking tray then toss in a drizzle of oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Warm in the oven until golden brown, 8-10 mins.
5
- Remove the soup from the heat and blend until smooth.
- Add a little extra water if the soup is too thick.
- Stir in pesto and season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
- Divide the soup between your bowls.
- Top with the brioche croutons and crumble over the goat's cheese.
- Garnish with the courgette ribbons and sesame seeds.
