This silky, veggie-forward soup is a fantastic way to use up a load of fresh summer squash. This would also work well with zucchini.

I am a SOUPaholic and eat soup all year round. Can't wait to try this one especially with fresh from the garden squash or zucchini!

Yes, and it's fantastic! This chowder has great flavor and comes together easily. I didn't make any changes and we really enjoyed it along with a salad.
