    8 Recipes for Summer Squash Soup

    Published: May 18, 2017 · by Kristen Callihan · Updated: Oct 29, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Summer Squash & Corn Chowder

    Unknown to many, the difference between summer squash and winter squash is simply related to the time of harvest. Summer squash are picked early while immature and the shells are still tender. Winter squash are taken up later in the season with the traditional autumn harvest once their shells have hardened up—making their way into grocery stores and fall harvest festivals everywhere. Each have plenty of uses and are fantastically nutritious. However, summer squash is the handiest for summer soup-making, which we will be working with for today's recipes of summer squash soup.

    Farmers in the United States provide several types of summer squash annually including zucchini, crookneck and straightneck varieties, as well as scallop squashes. With a few variations in shape and color, you can find most in health food stores, regular grocers and farmers markets during the summer—and all are delicious and chock full of antioxidants. With that in mind, let's explore the summer squash soup recipes that can be made with these nutrient-packed and flavorful foods. Here are our favorite summer squash soup recipes!
