This dreamy Courgette Soup is a gorgeous light summer soup, that is perfect for this time of year when courgettes are cheap and plentiful.

This soup is inspired by a recent trip to Glastonbury where I had some of the best meals I can remember. One of these memorable moments was a courgette and watercress soup. Annoyingly, I lost my photo from their specials board so today, I bring you my own version that’s vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free. 

But most importantly for me, it’s a deeply aromatic and flavourful soup that is free of onions and garlic (and other problem ingredients) that is safe for those that suffer from IBS, GERD/GORD, Acid Reflux, Gastroparesis and/or Heartburn. 

As a result of being diagnosed with Scleroderma last year, I developed very severe acid reflux that is essentially the burning sensation in your chest or oesophagus, that is the most common symptom of acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux after eating certain foods.

Some people like myself might also experience vomiting or regurgitation from your trigger foods. As a result, every single one of my recipes is designed with all these things in mind. To learn more about this condition you can find more information here.

Superstar Ingredients

So let’s talk about why this is not only so delicious but also super healthy.

Well, firstly, Courgettes, (better known in the United States as Zucchini), contain vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium and dietary fibre. And if you’re trying to lose weight then you should make the courgette number one on your shopping list as they happen to be super low in calories because of their high water content. 

The other key ingredient is Kale, one of the healthiest ingredients in the world. The nutrients Kale contains all support healthy skin, hair, and bones and the fibre content enhances digestion and contributes to cardiovascular health.

With even more nutritional value than Spinach, Kale can help to improve blood glucose control in diabetes, lower the risk of cancer, reduce blood pressure, and help prevent the development of asthma.

The powerhouse of benefits Kale has is never-ending and in addition to the courgette, it’s a really powerful combination.

Wonderful for GERD/Gastroparesis

To avoid the trigger foods of onion and garlic for those with severe acid reflux like myself, Celeriac, or celery root, is a fantastic option. Peeled and diced, it’s great to use as a replacement that can be used as an aromatic in sauces or stews.

To finish it all off, the toasted almonds provide a delicious source of protein and complement this hearty soup so very well.

I truly believe this soup works perfectly well as a light dinner when you add some crusty bread on the side and enjoy in the warmer evenings.

I really hope you love this Courgette Soup as much as I did sharing it with you all!
