We know 'zucchini' is American, but let's be honest... 'zoup' has a nice ring to it. And we want to annoy our friend Ross, who hates us using 'zucchini' instead of 'courgette'. You're welcome Ross :D

Ingredients
500g Courgette, skinned & diced (use the skin for courgetti recipes)
100g Leeks, sliced into 1-2cm chunks
40g/ml Unsalted Butter or Olive Oil
5g Vegetable Bouillon or Stock Cube in 250ml Boiling Water
1 Poached Egg per portion
100g Poached Haddock per portion
30g Goats Cheese per portion
30g Blue Stilton per portion
Plus a bread of choice: 90 Second Bread, Linseed Bread, Cheesy Soda Bread, etc.

Directions
Melt the butter / oil in a medium saucepan and fry the leek & courgette over a low heat for around 3-5 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften.
Add the stock, bring to boil and then turn the heat to low and cover with a lid. Allow to simmer gently for 10 minutes.
The soup will naturally thicken as the courgette cooks. To create a smooth soup, use either a stick blender (this can be done with care whilst hot) or a nutri-bullet / jug blender (ensure you wait until the soup is cooled fully).
Season to your taste and serve with your choice of protein.

This a great soup, really buttery, creamy and delicious. I made it in my soup maker and was beautifully tasty and smooth. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be making it again. Great lunch time staple. Thank you xx
The difference in carb counts will likely come down to Carb Manager giving a higher carb level to either the courgette (1.8g per 100g) or leeks (2.9g per 100g). Hope that helps?
I put these ingredients into Carb Manager and I can’t get under 7.3g net carbs per serving (makes 3). How are you getting 4.5g?
