Add the stock and simmer for 25 mins, until the courgettes are very soft.
Using a stick blender, whizz until smooth.
Add the cream (optional) and stir through.

- To make dairy free you can replace the butter with olive oil. You can miss out the cream, the soup is actually quite creamy without the extra cream.

- Use homemade stock or low sodium stock if serving to baby / young child. You can also replace some of the stock with water to reduce sodium levels.
