Yellow Squash and Bell Pepper Soup Recipe

Yellow Squash and Bell Pepper Soup Recipe

  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 3/4 pound yellow summer squash, sliced thin crosswise (about 3 cups)
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup low-salt chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
  1. In a large skillet cook onion in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add bell pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until pepper is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in squash and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in broth and bring mixture to a simmer. In a blender purée soup until smooth and transfer to a saucepan. Cook soup over moderate heat until just heated through, stirring in enough water to thin to desired consistency, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Serve soup sprinkled with coriander.
