Bacon Courgette Soup

This delicious creamy soup recipe was given to me by a dear friend back when I as at University in Malta. It is my to-go soup as it is so easy and fast to cook, and yet so good! A nice adaptation to this soup is to use spicy sausage or pancetta instead of the bacon. 

Ingredients:

Makes 4 servings

• 1 tbsp butter
• 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 2 courgettes, cubed
• 1 onion, sliced
• 100g bacon, chopped
• salt
• pepper
• 1 tsp curry

Directions:
Put the butter in a pot on medium-high heat. Add the onion along with the curry and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the bacon and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes, until golden. Add the potatoes and courgettes and pour enough water in the pot to just cover the vegetables. Salt and pepper to taste and leave on medium heat until the potatoes and courgettes are cooked through. Blend and serve. 

If you are short on time, you can add boiling water to cover the vegetables instead of tap water.
