Creamy summer squash soup with yellow squash, zucchini, and a zesty hint of lemon for a refreshing twist.
Ingredients:
  • 6 small yellow summer squash, trimmed and coarsely chopped
  • 1 large zucchini, trimmed and coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ground white pepper to taste
  • coarse sea salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
Instructions:
  • In a large soup pot, combine summer squash, zucchini, vegetable stock, half-and-half, and tarragon. Bring to a boil, then simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Blend the soup in batches until nearly smooth, being careful not to overfill the blender pitcher. Use a folded kitchen towel to secure the blender lid and start with a few quick pulses before pureeing the soup. For a faster option, use a stick blender to puree the soup directly in the cooking pot.
  • Add the Cheddar cheese to the hot soup to melt and mix well. Stir in the lemon juice and finish by sprinkling tarragon on top before serving.
