Courgette & Broccoli Soup aka 'Green soup'

A simple and tasty soup full of healthy greens. If you want to make it less healthy you can add in some stilton or parmesan cheese! 

Serves 4

2 x medium courgettes, diced
1 x broccoli head, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
1 x garlic clove, chopped finely
1 cup x frozen peas
1 tin x cannellini beans, drained
2 tsp x basil pesto
500ml x vegetable stock
1 tsp x olive oil
Salt & pepper 

Instructions
1. In large sauce pan, heat the olive oil over a medium heat & add the garlic for 2 minutes until you can smell the aroma. 

2. Add the courgette & broccoli to the sauce pan for 1 minute. 

3. Add the stock and cannellini beans, bring to the boil & then let it simmer for 12 minutes. 

4. Pour in the frozen peas & let it cook for a further 3 minutes.  

5. Turn off the heat, add the pesto & puree until smooth texture.
