Spicy Summer Squash Soup
If your garden is overflowing with squash, this Spicy Summer Squash Soup is a great change from your regular squash routine of recipes!
This soup has a little kick to it. If you don’t like the heat, you can reduce the red pepper flakes to 1 teaspoon or eliminate it all together.
Also, this is a very versatile recipe. Some of my Facebook friends had some great suggestions of adding either chopped chicken or sausage…I love these variations! A possible substitution could be cilantro for the parsley ~ I think I’ll try this next time!
