Kathy's Yellow Summer Squash Soup



Kathy's Yellow Summer Squash Soup
 
I love the farmers market and this time I took a client. He bought loads of stuff. I thought I was being frugal with what I was buying for my house. But after cooking his stuff for him the past 2 weeks. I am burned out and several things I bought have wilted and gone to the chickens, turtles and bunny.
 
I looked for recipes on line and ended up modifying several I found.
 
This will serve 4
 
2 yellow crook neck squash chopped
1 small yellow onion chopped
1 6 inch sprig rosemary (stemmed)
1 lemon zested/juiced
2 cloves garlic sliced
salt and pepper
1 can vegetable broth
1/2 C heavy cream
 
Optional garnish with shredded parmesan cheese and crumbled bacon.
 
I put the first 7 ingredients in the pot. Brought it to a boil and let it simmer for 30 mins or so til things were tender. I used my immersion blender and puréed everything til smooth then added about 1/2 a cup or less of heavy cream . I topped it with shredded parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon would have been a nice addition as a garnish as well
