My four year old and I loved this! So easy and simple well expect the blender part :) but yummy and healthy it's a winner! I used Greek yogurt Didn't think about the texture being different than normal. I liked it still and I added the hot sauce separately and loved it! Either way it's great! Thank you! This was my favorite recipe of the 2 I tried, may add leeks sliced and sauted in butter, a little milk and poultry seasoning if doing a double batch because I did like that flavor from the other re pie but liked the overal texture and taste of this recipe more!

Great way to use up squash! Easy to make, tasty, and pretty. I topped the soup with cherry tomatoes, sliced green onions, and croutons to make it a little more substantial. I made it with the hot sauce, but next time will omit as it just seemed a little at odds with the taste of the squash.

This is an absolutely delicious way to cope with being overrun with squash from the CSA. This is a great way to use some of it and I definitely plan on freezing the soup. DH and I loved it and it is quick and easy. The quantity just about overflowed my blender. Thanks so much for sharing.

My son gave me a LOAD of summer squash and I can hardly stand to let food go to waste. I froze a bunch, have grilled some, then came across this recipe. I thought "Another way to use up excess squash". But just tasted it (it is literally still in the blender) and am so impressed. Can't keep my spoon out of it. Thanks.
