  1. Bring the water to a boil in a large sauce pan or soup pot. Add the courgette (zucchini), peas, salt, sugar, black pepper, and olive oil. Simmer uncovered at medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the courgette are fork tender.
  2. Next, add the mint and then blend the soup with a stick blender until very smooth, at least 3-5 minutes.

Notes

  • Celery seed is my soup making secret weapon! It adds that little hint of flavor that makes everyone wonder what makes this soup so good.
  • This dish is very good served chilled or lukewarm and stores in the fridge well for a few days, great for party prep.
