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.

We've been having a down farm veg box for almost a year, we have never been disappointed. You can almost feel the love and care these plants have been given. They're full of vitality. Real food, grown with love for the land by real people.
