Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 60 minutes
Number of persons: 4

Ingredients

• 6 spring onions
• 1 kg green or yellow courgettes
• 2 floury potatoes
• 1 onion
• 1 cup of sour cream
• 150 grams grated cheddar from a block
• 8 sprigs of fresh mint
• 1 cube of maggi vegetable stock
• 1 half lemon
• Pepper and salt
• Olive oil

Preparation

1. Cut the spring onions, chop the onion, and cut the zucchini into small cubes.
2. Get a soup pot with a thick bottom
3. Put a little olive oil in the pan and add salt and pepper.
4. Turn on a low heat and add the vegetables.
5. Now cut a lemon in half and squeeze it over the vegetables.
6. Add 2 to 3 leaves of mint to the vegetables.
7. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. This can be, for example, in quarters.
8. Meanwhile, put 1.5 dl of water in a kettle. When the water has boiled, pour it into a measuring cup with a vegetable stock cube. The broth can now draw for a while.
9. Stir all vegetables well and fry for five minutes until translucent.
10. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 40 minutes. By letting the zucchini stand for so long, a kind of thick stew is created full of flavor.
11. Now add the stock to the broth and stir well. Then bring the broth to a boil.
12. Now add the potatoes and let it cook for 15 minutes until done. You can test this by sticking a fork in it.
13. Remove the soup from the heat and add five tablespoons of sour cream and 150 grams of grated cheese. Grate the cheese from a block of cheddar. This has a much better taste compared to the ready-made slices of Cheddar cheese.
14. Grab the hand blender and now mix the soup until smooth. Is the soup a bit too thick? Then you can possibly dilute it with some boiling water. Add a little water each time to keep the soup from becoming too thick.
15. In any case, do not let the soup come to a boil. This is not good for the cheese.
16. Serve the soup in soup bowls with a mint leaf as a garnish.
