A Spoonful of Sugar

Despite the slightly twee name, this soup really does lift the spirits. Well, it has that effect on Nigella and myself; I can't guarantee that it will cheer anyone else up though! The soup is very quick and simple to prepare - the recipe can be found here.

Next time I'd reduce the oil to 2 and a bit tablespoons - as you can see from the picture, it was a little too oily. It did taste wonderful though! The courgette flavour came through nicely and was enhanced by the rice studded lemon and chicken broth. All in all, this was a great lunch and there's plenty left over for snacking...
