Chilled Spiced Yellow-Squash Soup image

Summer squash was the featured ingredient in last week's "The Way We Eat" column in the NY Times Magazine. At this time of year you can never have too many squash recipes, so although I haven't tried it, I thought I'd share this one with you.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs crookneck yellow squash, trimmed and roughly chopped
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more to garnish
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and ground

Steps:

  • Combine the squash, olive oil, red pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric and 1 1/2 C water in a pot with a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, until the squash is very tender.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of yogurt. The soup was still delicious.
