    In a Le Creuset 3-ply Stainless Steel 18cm Saucepan, sauté the onions in olive oil until translucent. Add the courgettes and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese and allow to melt. When the cream cheese has melted, pour in the chicken stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

    Using a handheld blender or liquidiser, puree the soup to a smooth, creamy consistency. Heat a Le Creuset grill pan and grill the courgette ribbons. Set aside.

    To make the croutons, preheat the oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, toss the ciabatta pieces in garlic, olive oil, and seasoning. Spread them onto a baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy and golden. Allow to cool.
