Great veggie side dish! Very simple and tasty. I added the bacon back in the veggies at the end and this was a hit at my house. Thanks for sharing, Lynette. Made for For Your Consideration tag.

I love yellow squash and zucchini mixed. This was a nice way to make this combo, the tomatoes and herbs really make the recipe.

I scaled the recipe down and enjoyed this easy soup for a quick dinner. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken.Thanks!
