I've said it before when I post soups:

I love soups, especially vegetables soups. This courgette and tomato soup was delicious. and it usually reaches me for two days.

I eat soups almost all year round.

For two days I keep in a tupper on fridge but it can also be frozen.

To this recipe I added basil cause I love it.

Puree in batches with a stick blender or food processor. . Then see if you need add some water to the soup (I love thick texture).
Taste for seasoning and adjust if you need some salt.
You can sieve too for more smooth texture but really I didn't.
