chop courgettes, add liquid, add herbs and chilli and cook. If you have beef or chicken stock add that. Use your imagination and what you find in the garden!

Green wrigglies used to snuggle into my broccoli florets, so the children would ask if they could have shop broccoli ;)We frequently had steamed wrigglies on the menu.
Then when the broccoli went to full flower, those same children used the long stalks as weapons and had broccoli wars.

Really good crop of corgettes here and I have staggered the planting well so they should be producing a dozen or so a week for the next couple of months :)
I will try soup though hadn't thought of that :)
I like a couple of good sized ones grated then add a small grated potato some finely chopped shallot and some basil and corriander also finely chopped salt and lots of freshly ground pepper an egg and around 3 tablespoons of plain flour stir well then fry as fritters in butter delicious with some fresh salsa.
