Ingredients

  • Basil: 15g basil, plus a few leaves to serve
  • Rye Bread: 4 x 25g portions wholegrain rye bread
  • Rapeseed Oil: 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • Spinach: 400g spinach
  • Vegetable Bouillon Powder: 3 tsp vegetable bouillon powder, made up to 1 litre with boiling water
  • Leeks: 400g leeks, well washed and sliced
  • Courgettes: 450g courgettes, sliced
  • Omega Seed Mix: 8 tsp omega seed mix (see tip)
  • Goat'S Cheese: 150g tub soft vegetarian goat's cheese

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the leeks for a few mins to soften. Add the courgettes, then cover the pan and cook for 5 mins more. Pour in the stock, cover and cook for about 7 mins.
  2. Add the spinach, then cover the pan and cook for 5 mins so that it wilts. Take off the heat and blitz until really smooth with a hand blender. Add the goat's cheese and basil, then blitz again.
  3. If you're making this recipe as part of our two-person Summer Healthy Diet Plan, spoon half the soup into two bowls or large flasks, then cool and chill the remainder for another day. Reheat in a pan or microwave to serve. If serving in bowls, scatter with some extra basil leaves and the seeds, and eat with the rye bread.
