Put the potatoes in a large
pan with just enough water to cover them and crumble in
the stock cubes. Bring to the boil, then cover and cook
for 5 mins. Add the courgettes, put the lid back on and
cook for 5 mins more. Throw in the spring onions, cover
and cook for a final 5 mins
-
Take off the heat, then stir
in the cheese and season with the nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Whizz to a thick soup, adding more hot water until you get
the consistency you like. Serve scattered with extra
grated cheddar, spring onions and nutmeg or pepper. Or
cool and freeze in freezer bags or containers with good
lids for up to 3 months.

Note: this
healthy low-calorie soup is a delicious way to use up
courgettes when they're in season. Plus it's freezable, so
you can make it in summer and enjoy all year round.
