Ingredients

  • 1 Courgette
  • ½ Fennel Bulb
  • 2 Celery Stalks
  • 20g Fresh Mint
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (or Olive Oil)
  • 1 Pinch Himalayan Rock Salt
  • 1 Generous Pinch Black Pepper
  • 600ml Boiling Water

How To Make

1. Prepare: Remove the ends from the courgette/zucchini and fennel and then peel the courgette. Chop the courgette, fennel and celery into small (ish) slices. Remove the leaves from the mint and discard the stalks.

2. Cook: Gently heat the coconut or olive oil in a pan over a medium heat and add the courgette, fennel and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables start to soften, then add the salt, pepper and water, reduce the heat and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes.

3. Blend: Remove from the pan from the heat, add the fresh mint and blend for 1 – 2 minutes using either a stick blender or a regular blender. However be very careful if using a blender as the heat creates a build up of pressure that can blow the lid off! Ensure you cover the lid with a tea towel and hold down firmly whilst blending to avoid this.

4. Serve: Pour the soup into a bowl and enjoy!
