I attended a training in The Hague last week & the guy who runs the location provided a lovely Dutch lunch - freshly made soup, warm bread, cheeses + spreads.

I loved the courgette/zucchini, mint & chili soup (chili & the mint play so well off each other!) so much that I ended up asking for a recipe - and made it today, with some fresh Lidl bread (one of the best breads you can get in NL imho).

Definitely something we'll be adding to the rotation!

@vicgrinberg ooh, what's the recipe please?
@afewbugs the one I used (I got a rough explanation from the original cook, not a full recipe): 4 zucchini, 3 potatoes, 270 ml can coconut milk, 1.5 l water, fresh chili and mint to taste. Cook sliced zucchini, potato in small cubes + slliced chili, in the water + coconut milk + vegetable stock powder until the veggies are soft. Add the mint, cook another minute, blitz until smooth. Taste was great, the consistency a bit watery - I'd rather reduce the water next time.
@vicgrinberg amazing, thank you!
@afewbugs hope you enjoy it as much as we did here!
@afewbugs oh and the only spice I used besides the stock was pepper, mt stock was pretty good, I think.
@vicgrinberg
Oooohhh, that sounds really good.

@vicgrinberg @afewbugs

Thank you for sharing, I see other people asked for the recipe (also curious about it).

Thank you Dr Grinberg!

@oscarfalcon @afewbugs I hope you like it if you decide to try!

@vicgrinberg @afewbugs

Thanks, I will try to make it this weekend.

@vicgrinberg Given zucchini, chillies and mint is what is abundant in the garden and I have a freezer full of saved stock ingredients, I suspect there may be a lot of this in my future. I hope it freezes well :-)
@cafuego I'd love to know how well it freezes, too! I suppose well, but given how much we had today i don't think there will be any left to freeze. Will make more next time!
@vicgrinberg @afewbugs
Sounds delicious! I'll probably wait for a few months though until the mint and courgettes are plentiful. I've just planted out loads of potatoes so there won't be a shortage of them! Thanks for sharing 😁
@Jilly5 @afewbugs oh yes, it's likely a perfect recipe for when there is the usual summer courgette flood.
