Happiness Soup

Happiness Soup

Ingredients

500 grams yellow courgette
zest and juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 litre chicken stock
100 grams basmati rice
maldon salt & pepper

Directions

Cut the courgettes into 5mm / one-eighth of an inch rings, and then finely dice them. Put them into a pan with the lemon zest and oil, stir to coat, then cook on a gentle heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they've slightly softened. Stir in the turmeric and pour in the stock and lemon juice and then drop in the rice. Cook, uncovered, for 10-20 minutes, or just until the courgettes and rice are tender. Taste for seasoning.

The incredible hard work from Reggie, Ike and the CSA team, the fertile soil and help from Mother Earth makes this veg the best I have ever eaten. I can honestly taste the goodness everyone puts in to this amazing project.
