Ingredients

2 cups sliced yellow summer squash (1/4 inch thick)
1 cup sliced zucchini (1/4 inch thick)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt, divided
2 cups crushed butter-flavored crackers
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
