Summer Squash & White Bean Soup
I love using summer squash in soups. This dish is hearty as is, but stir in chopped ham for an extra wallop of flavor. Serve it warm or chilled.
INGREADIENT
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large sweet onions, chopped (about 4 cups)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium yellow summer squash, cubed (about 6 cups)
- 1 carton (32 ounces) chicken broth
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained, divided
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Direction
- In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat butter and oil over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
- Add squash and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10-12 minutes or until squash is tender. Stir in 1 can of beans, parsley, tarragon and salt. Puree soup using an immersion blender. Or cool soup slightly and puree in batches in a blender; return to pan. Stir in remaining can of beans and heat through. Top each serving with yogurt.
