Why I Love This Recipe

I created this recipe when the garden was producing so much yellow squash I was thinking about dropping it off on neighbor's doorsteps and then running. I was surprised to find several yellow squash soup recipes online, but none had the mix of ingredients I had in my pantry, or that sounded quite right. So I mixed and matched several recipes to come up with this one, which has become a favorite in my household and at potlucks. This recipe makes a lot - a big soup pot full, and is good leftover.
