    Easy summer squash soup.

    While any summer squash can go into this soup, my soup was made with yellow squash.

    Summer squash gives this soup a mild and delicate flavor which pair perfectly with the added onion, celery, and carrots.

    Did you try my recipe for Blender Pumpkin Soup?

    That blender soup recipe is completely made in a blender and tastes amazing. Both this recipe for squash soup and that pumpkin soup recipe can be made vegan or Mediterranean diet friendly.

    This recipe works best if you can use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients together. You can find a selection of immersion blenders here.

    Tips for making this summer squash soup recipe.

    When I am looking for a more interesting soup to serve, I like to use a variety of summer squashes for added flavor and texture in my soup. Some good squash options that I like include zucchini and yellow squash.

    Here are some more great tips for you.

    1. Diced potatoes are added to this soup to make it creamy and hearty. For a thinner soup you can add fewer potatoes or simply omit them.
    2. Blending the soup is an important step in this recipe in order to make the soup smooth. However, over blending the soup will activate the starch to make the soup thick and pasty.
    3. Feel free to make this soup into a meal by adding protein to it. Mediterranean diet followers can add cooked chicken or shrimp while vegan folks can add Air Fried Tofu Bites

    How to store squash soup.

    This soup should first be allowed to cool before placing it into an airtight container. If properly stored it should keep for about four days refrigerated or longer when frozen.

    How to make this Summer Squash Soup Recipe.

    • In a large pot on medium heat, warm your olive oil. When the olive oil is warm you can stir in the onion, carrot, celery, potato, and squash. Sautee the ingredients until tender and they begin to brown (about eight to ten minutes). You can season the ingredients as desired while sautéing.
    • Once the ingredients are tender and browning, you can stir in the garlic and thyme and cook for an additional minute.
    • Next, add in the vegetable broth and use a wooden spoon to gently scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan as you stir. Continue to cook until the soup boils and the potatoes are fork tender (12-15 minutes). Then remove the soup from the heat.
    • For the next step we will blend the soup. The easiest way to do this is to carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you are using a regular blender it is best to blend in batches, taking care as the soup will still be warm.
    • Once the soup has been blended smooth, stir in the cream and butter (or alternatives).
    • Taste and season the soup as desired before serving.

    Expert Tip👉 You can freeze the soup for later. To do so, first allow the soup to fully cool before transferring it to an airtight container. The soup will keep for up to the months in the freezer if properly stored.
