Raw courgettes, mint, pine nuts & garlic almond soup

on 15/07/2009

Divine, hey?

I love making this sort of divine soup. This isn’t exactly a soup. It has no stock. The vegetables & nuts are mixed together with unsweetened almond milk. Everything is put in the blender. Easy does it!
 
Printable recipe here!
 
Recipe: For 4 persons, 1 part
Ingredients:
1 + 1/2 courgettes, cleaned, with peel still on, seeds cut out, cut up into chunks
2 fat cloves of fresh garlic, peeled & finely cut up
20 gr of pine nuts
3 tablespoons of fresh mint, cleaned & pad dry with kitchen paper, no stalks!
400 ml of unsweetened almond milk
grinds of black pepper
Maldon sea salt
 
Method:
1. Place every ingredient into the blender except the sea salt & the pepper.
2. Blend until completely smooth.
3. Pour into 1 container. Taste. Add a lot of grinds of black pepper & Maldon sea salt according to your taste. It has to taste fab & punchy! Add a bit more seasoning if necessary.
4. Place in the fridge in the container to cool down, because it is more yummy if the soup is really cold.
5. Take out of the fridge when you are ready to eat the soup!
This is yummy when it is hot outside!

    This soup looks very healthy & so damn tasty!I so love this! Thanks, Sophie for a real true elegant soup!

    Sophie this sounds great and I will have to try this recipe. A question: is 1.5 courgettes to mean precisely that or 1.5 pounds or kilos? I'm trying to imagine that if this is an amount for 4 persons, it doesn't seem like it would be enough unless it were to be served as a starter. I'll add almond milk to my shopping list today!

  7. pixelhazard says:

    Oh I'm so intrigued! I want to taste it !

  8. Talita says:

    Almond milk? I've never heard about that. I'm curious to try this soup.

  9. Linda says:

    This looks so light and refreshing, and I love the colors in your photo! Do you make your own almond milk?

  10. There are something like this in Chinese cuisine too…with peanut, sesame seeds, lotus root, etc. all we need is to add some milk or water….they are very good as a breakfast! Angie's Recipes

  11. dada says:

    How refreshing. Excellent combination!

  12. Oooh what an interesting take on a soup and I like that you used the almond milk again! :)

  13. This looks really interesting! I've never seen raw courgettes in a soup before, but it would be just perfect for the hot days that have been so elusive here in Boston. How do you think it would work with basil instead of mint – my husband is allergic to mint?

  14. Valérie says:

    I love cold soups in the summer! This sounds delightful! The us of almond milk is intriguing…

  15. I'm not a fan of cold soups but I'm trying to stay open minded and taste them whenever they're put in front of me.

  16. Pam says:

    I've never had a soup like this before – I am certain I would love it.

  17. Olga says:

    Looks so pretty. And I LOVE the napkin :)

  18. Sara says:

    very interesting. I have never used almond milk before, and what is a courgette?

  19. Hi Sophie, this is a very creative soup, sounds yummy and healthy !!! Hey, it was really great to meet you in Brussels. I haven't forgotten the photos, will send you when I upload the pics. Will go back to Basel tmr afternoon.

  24. Claudia says:

    Unsweetened almond milk! Now that sounds divine. I wonder if I could find it anywhere? This looks so pretty and I love all the flavors. Your recipes are just grand. Now…. unsweetened almond milk….

  25. Sophie, we were served a soup very similar to yours at a friends dinner party. After we said we really like it, she asked us to guess the ingredients. Food talk such as this at a dinner party is fun and a great way to include everyone in the conversation. So we all guessed and guessed but never came up with the almonds. It is also nice to see the word "courgette" used. This is a great recipe and easy for summer.Sam

  26. WOW! It looks really delicious and tasty!!

  27. Donna says:

  36. Daily Spud says:

    Fantastic – I have just started harvesting courgettes from my garden and this sounds like a lovely way to use them. Now if only the weather would get warmer – the incessant rain means that today is definitely a hot soup day!

  37. Wow, I happen to be leaving to a place that almost only grows courgettes… That is such a swell idea. I will try to sell it to the others :-)
