Steps:
- Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and finely chop the fresh rosemary.
- Heat olive oil and butter in large heavy soup pot or stovetop pressure cooker (or in the bottom of the electric pressure cooker on the Saute setting).
- Then add onion and saute about 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and softened.
- Add garlic, rosemary, and Italian Herb Blend and cook 3-5 minutes more.
- While the onion, garlic, and rosemary are cooking, chop up enough zucchini and yellow squash to make 8 cups (or slightly less for the electric pressure cooker if you can't fit that much.)
- Add the vegetable or chicken stock to onion mixture and simmer 10 minutes. (Use 6 cups stock for pressure cooker or 8 cups for stovetop.)
- For the electric pressure cooker I kept the setting on Saute to simmer the stock.)
- Then add chopped zucchini and yellow squash.
- For stovetop cooking, turn heat to very low and simmer 30 minutes, or until squash is very soft and flavors are well blended.
- For electric or stovetop pressure cooker, lock the lid, choose MANUAL, HIGH PRESSURE and set the time for 5 minutes.
- Use the quick-release method to release the pressure after the time is up.
- Use an Immersion Blender (affiliate link) to puree the mixture, or work in batches and puree in food processor or blender. (Be careful if you're using the blender or food processor and don't fill them too full when blending hot liquids.)
- When mixture is as pureed as you'd like it, check the consistency of the soup.
- Simmer until the soup is reduced and as thick as you'd like it. (Simmer about 20 minutes on medium low on the stovetop or stovetop pressure cooker or about 20 minutes on Saute in the electric pressure cooker.
- This time may vary, depending on how thick you want it.)
- Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Serve soup hot, with freshly grated Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top if desired.

ZUCCHINI & YELLOW SQUASH VEGETABLE PESTO SOUP
I got this recipe from Emeril Lagasse but revamped it to fit my families taste. "Don't be afraid to make this straightforward, veggie-packed soup your own by using the vegetables you especially like or you have on hand. For instance, replace the zucchini and yellow squash with frozen green peas and frozen corn. If you're a tomato lover, two cups of chopped canned tomatoes can be substituted for two cups of the roth. Also, you could gild the lily by adding three cups of cooked macaroni or other small pasta, or a bit of cooked rice, right before serving. The sky's the limit here."--Emeril Lagasse

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: For the best flavor, use fresh, young zucchini and yellow squash. They should be firm and have no blemishes.
- Don't overcook the squash: Cook the squash just until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make it mushy.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, thyme, or oregano, can add a lot of flavor to the soup. Add them just before serving.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: A dollop of sour cream or yogurt can add a creamy richness to the soup. It's also a great way to add some extra protein.
