you could substitute any blue vein cheese if Stilton is not available.

Courgette and Stilton soup

3 courgettes

1 onion

1 medium potato

knob of butter

vegetable stock

stilton

chop the onion and potato and sweat in the butter over a low heat while you prepare the courgettes. Half and slice the courgettes and add to the pot. Cover with vegetable stock (or water and 1 tsp of swiss marigold veg boullion) and simmer until the potato is cooked and mashable. Remove from heat and blend until smooth. Now add the stilton - about a dessert spoon is plenty - but add more if you want it stronger. Crumble the cheese in and stir - it will melt into the soup. yum!

Sounds lovely, but will try it next year as I point blank REFUSE to pay supermarket prices for courgettes when they grow like weeds in the summer months(should have frozen some). Do you still have them growing where you are?

Just out of curiosity, do you have any connection to 'Colouritgreen'?

You could use diced marrow instead (which is only a mature courgette )t'

)

I've found that I've basically been substituting many of my courgette recipes this way! I don't think you could successfully freeze courgettes as they'll go mushy on thawing (having said that, I haven't tried to freeze them because after such a glut over the summer, I want a break before next year's crop LOL!)
