Good hot or cold. Adjust the amount of crab boil according to how spicy you want your soup. Great way to use up some of that garden bounty & can be frozen!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups water
1 beef bouillon cubes or 1 chicken bouillon cube
1/2-1 teaspoon liquid crab boil
6 medium yellow squash
1 yellow onion
1 cup heavy cream or 1 cup half-and-half
salt & pepper
cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring water, bouillion cube, and desired amount of crab boil to a boil in a saucepan. You can always start on the lower end of crab boil & adjust up. Remember that some of the heat will "cook off" when you add broth to squash later. Boil for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, coursely chop squash and onion. I don't peel my squash, but you can peel them if desired before chopping.
  • Put squash and onion into a dutch oven and pour broth mixture in over vegetables. Cover vegetables about 2/3 of the way, don't completely cover (you may have some broth left over). Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. When squash is tender, remove from heat & let cool.
  • When cool enough to handle, transfer squash mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Return squash mixture to dutch oven and slowly stir in cream. You might not want the whole cup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add dash of cayenne pepper, if desired.
  • If planning to serve cold, let stand in refrigerator several hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend. Stir well before serving.
  • If freezing, let cool completely, then place desired number of servings in freezer containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. To prepare from frozen, simply thaw in microwave or stovetop & serve!

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this soup was surprisingly mild. I really enjoyed the flavor and the creamy texture.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This soup is delicious and so easy to make! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add a little extra cayenne pepper for a bit more heat.

This soup is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The heat from the cayenne pepper is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the summer squash and the creaminess of the coconut milk. I will definitely be making this again!
