Does anyone know why it's high in carbohydrates so I can cut that ingredient out?
I didn't have thyme, nor shallots. I added zucchini and carrots. I also used chicken condense broth. Instead of 4 cups I used 5 cups of broth. Also added a small spring of celery leaves. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Will definitely make this again!!
Having had breakfast at 7am, and being so busy that it was 4pm by the time I could even think about lunch, I wanted something different to do with the yellow squash I picked from my garden. As I was hungry, I took a few shortcuts. I cubed and blended the squash BEFORE cooking. The liquid I used was green tea, which I use whenever water is required in a recipe.After blending, I poured the squash into a pot, and since I also have an herb garden, added thyme, oregano, rosemary, basil and sage. Two tablespoons of butter (out of olive oil), along with onions, garlic and black paper instead of hot pepper sauce. Added lemon juice as stated in the recipe. Very, very good version of this recipe. Even better with toasted, artisan bread from my local farmer's market.
Eating this now & it is DELICIOUS!! SOOOOO good!! I created an account just to give this review because its that amazing!! Definitely something I will continue to make as a family meal. Thank you!!
Awesome! I did not take out the seeds as my blendec blender just chops them right up. Delicious and tastes like soup you would get at a five star restaurant. Highly recommend.
Great and easy recipe! I used frozen yellow squash with seeds and added a handful of carrots. I used my smart stick instead of food processor. Delicious!
Had a few squash and some thyme leftover from Thanksgiving, and this was a perfect way to use them. I didn't bother to puree, just mashed them with a fork and added a little gravy flour and a a bit of cream. Delicious!
This soup is delicious! It.s lo-cal. Can be eaten hot or cold.
My husband told me this is his new favorite soup ever! I picked fresh summer squash from our garden for this recipe. I only had one onion and no fresh thyme. In place of the fresh thyme I used 1 tsp ground thyme. I love that this didn't use cream and was still a creamy and delicious soup! Will definitely be making this one again!
I made this recipe with three yellow squash and three green squash because that's what was in my refrigerator. Also didn't have any leeks, do I didn't use them. I also didn't take the seeds out of the squash. I loved using my food processor and my vita-mix blender and both were called for in this recipe. Using the vita-mix blender, there wasn't anything left to the seeds, the ingredients blended beautifully and was light and creamy with out any heavy ingredients!!!This was fun to cook. Quick and easy and so yummy!!
