Ingredients

  • Turmeric: 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • Onion: 2 onions, chopped
  • Vegetable Stock: 2l low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock from cubes
  • Tomato: 1kg tomato, chopped
  • Courgette: 1kg courgette, sliced
  • Butter: 1 tbsp butter
  • Plain Flour: 2 tbsp plain flour
  • Crusty Bread: crusty bread, to serve (optional)

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pan, add the onions and courgettes, and cook for 5 mins on a medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the tomatoes and flour. Cook for a couple of mins, stirring around to stop the flour from becoming lumpy. Add the turmeric and stock, cover and simmer for 30 mins.
  3. Puree with a stick blender, then sieve if you want a really smooth texture. Serve hot with crusty bread, if you like, or chill, then freeze for up to 2 months.
