Hey guys,
We're already in July, around middle of summer, our garden is full of summer squash, also known as courgette and zucchini.
Well, the difference between zucchini and summer squash, many times, is their skin color. Zucchini has dark green color and summer squash are light green color, yellowish...
I've cooked them in many ways already: fried summer squash, patties, veggie lasagna, in pasta, grilled and ofc, in cream soup. YUM!
Also, some kids are complicated when it comes to veggies. And cream soups are a good way to hide the veggies.
This way kids get their veggie intake and everyone is happy.
So today I'll share with you my recipe which is soo soo refreshing and delicious. And no, I'm not subjective. This recipe was amazingly delicious.
I was like: " Let's taste it", as I was pouring myself a ladle of soup. I was already full of other foods 🙄. But after eating the whole thing, I poured myself another two and eat it in a second. No crutouns, no nothing.
Here are some photos of our summer squash. They are huge and sooo many!

Caleb ate this cream soup with great pleasure. He likes cream soups in general, thats true. But he liked this one too, very much.
Ingredients
- olive oil
- one medium white onion
- 1 big summer squash (I had a 1kg piece)
- one potato
- garlic
- one bunch of green parsley
- around 2-3 cups of water or chicken/vegetable broth
- green dill (optional)
- salt and pepper
- coconut/veggie cream or cooking cream
This recipe is fully vegan if you use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
Also, you can use parmesan in the end if you add. That adds taste and great consistency to the soup.
Instructions
First, heat the olive oil on medium and saute onions and garlic.
Add summer squash and potato cubes.
Season with salt and pepper, I added oregano too. You can add the greens here as well.

Cover with water or broth but make sure to not add too much. I added a little to much and is not my first time. I've noticed summer squash, when cooking, tends to leave more liquid than other veghies and thats understandable. It contains over 90% water.
At the end, I had to take some soup out before using the blender. Else, I would have get a too liquid cream soup.
I added cream in this phase. Coconut cream or veggie cream works great in cream soups. I usually have veggie cream but this time I had any at home so I replaced it with cooking cream.

We served it, as usuall, with crutons or crostini.
Enjoy the recipe!

It was so so delicious, really. I must do another one this week too. Wr have too many of summer squash anyway! 😅😅
It looks delicious and so creamy, thanks for sharing the recipe.
Thank you! My pleasure to share it 💗
oh that's great!
I was going to cook smth with squashes but my boy doesn't like them;(
in this soup he will not see them, so it's fine;))
Yes. Also you can combine them with other veggies like more poatoes, parsnip, sweet potatoes.
Or anything he likes. I think squash can be combined pretty much with everything because it doesnt have a specific pregnant taste right?

It looks Incredible! Plus using veggies from your garden must elevate the flavors to another level.
Thanks!
Thats a good point, right here. You can't compare your own grown veggies with the ones from the stores. Nope.
Thank you also for commenting. Appreciate it. 😊
Not going back after growing your own isn't it? 😉
Whenever its possible!
But unfortunately, there arr many people whom forget what real flavor is.
I know not everyone can have a garden, and thats too bad.
Not to mention the health issues with buying all this food, so many times full of pesticides.
Anyways. This is a topic I could talk about for hours 😅
Cheers from Romania 😋
Absolutely. We plant herbs at home and for the rest either organic or conventional (no pesticides).
Do you have a plan on how you plant across the year?
No, I dont have yet a plan, to say so.
We moved to a new house just a few years ago and didnt manage to finish building our green house. This year it will be ready and I'm guessing we will be able to have our own veggies more longer across the year.
The greenhouse sounds like a great place to hang around during the winter months. We are lucky here in Queensland AUS, to have a mild winter, but at the same time, a lot of things can't grow as it can get quite hot and humid.
Hopefully, you can get the greenhouse ready before the cold weather 🤞🏼
It looks creamy and mouth watering. Squash is my all time favorite veggie. I like squash whatever recipe it is.
Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you! I love squash too. ❤️❤️
My pleasure to share, I'm glad you enjoyed my recipe. Do you cooked squash in soups?
I haven't tried yet.
Maybe you'll try someday, why not? Right?
Sure.
