This summer squash soup is easy and delicious served hot or cold. I like to freeze leftovers to enjoy the flavor of summer on a dull day!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, chopped
5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
8 cups chopped yellow summer squash
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Melt butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add onions: cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot and simmer, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and simmer, about 10 minutes. Add summer squash and simmer until all vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
Combine soup, basil, salt, and pepper into a blender or food processor, no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Purée in batches until desired consistency is reached.

Cook’s Note

Substitute about 3/4 teaspoon dried basil for fresh basil, if desired. If using dried basil, add to soup when adding potatoes.
