METHOD

- Firstly, start by adding a sauce pan over a low/medium heat.

- Then add the butter and oil and melt.

- Finely dice the garlic and fry in the pan for a minute or so.

- Chop the courgettes into chunks.

- Next, add the courgette to the pan and crumble the stock cube in with a sprinkle of salt.

- Now add the peas and add enough water to come to the top of the vegetables. Bring to the boil and then lower to a simmer for 25 minutes.

- Once ready, blend the soup and add the cheese by grating it into the soup.

- Finally, add double cream and some extra chunks of cheese and peas if you're feeling fancy and enjoy with some delicious sourdough.
