Creamy Summer Squash Soup

Creamy Summer Squash Soup
  • 6 small yellow summer squash, trimmed and coarsely chopped
  • 1 large zucchini, trimmed and coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ground white pepper to taste
  • coarse sea salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon


  1. Place the summer squash, zucchini, vegetable stock, half-and-half, and tarragon into a large soup pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  2. Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until nearly smooth, and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  3. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese into the hot soup, and allow to melt; stir until thoroughly mixed. Stir in the lemon juice, and top with a sprinkling of tarragon to serve.
