Peel and chop the potato and onion into cubes, and saute lightly in the oil, in a large saucepan, for about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the garlic and basil and saute for another minute.

Step 3

Top and tail the courgette. Chop into cubes. De-seed the pepper and chop into cubes. Add to the saucepan and stir for a further minute.

Step 4

Dissolve the stock cubes in 1 pint of boiling water, then add to your saucepan. Stir in well and add another pint of boiling water.

Step 5

Bring to the boil, then reduce to a medium heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 6

Transfer your soup into a jug blender, and blitz until completely smooth. Add more boiling water if needed to bring volume up to 1.5 litres. Serve immediately, or allow to cool completely and refrigerate for use as needed.
