Yellow Squash Soup

Ginger, my dear friend and chef extraordinaire, sent a quart of this soup over this week.

It was gone in about 15 minutes. Normally served chilled I chose to heat it. The flavor of the squash was fantastic. Its a refreshing surprise that you'll be sure to enjoy! Courtesy of Food to Die For, Old City Cemetary, Lynchburg

What you need:

• 6-8 Cups chicken broth

• 16 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese, broken in pieces

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 2 pounds crookneck squash, washed and sliced

• 1/4 tsp sugar

• 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions:

• Cook vegetables in chicken broth. Stir in cream cheese. Puree in batches in food processor. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill. If soup is too thick, thin with a little milk. Use Low-fat cheese and save calories without forfeiting flavor. Serves 8-10.
