2tbsp olive oil
15g butter
1 medium onion roughly chopped
900g courgettes

115g cheese (it says dolcelatte but I used crumbly Lancashire)
300ml single cream (I used milk)
salt and pepper

1. Heat the oil and butter until foaming. Add onion and cook gently for about 5mins, stirring frequently until softened but not brown
2. Add courgettes and oregano with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 10 mins, stirring frequently. Pour in stock and bring to the boil stirring.
3. Lower the heat, half cover the pan and simmer gently, stirring occasionally for about 30 mins. Stir in cheese until melted.
4. Process soup in a blender until smooth.
5. Add cream and stir over low heat until hot but not boiling. Add more stock, water if the soup is too thick.
