Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and potato and gently sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft. Add the courgettes and cook for a couple more minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil.
- STEP 2
Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until the courgettes are tender. Pour two-thirds of the soup into a blender, add the mint leaves and blend until smooth.

Return to the remaining soup in the pan, stir to combine and gently reheat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. I like to add a little lemon juice just before serving.
