This soup contains the delicious yellow squash, a type of summer squash. Summer squash are squashes that are harvested when immature, while the rind is still tender and edible. Nearly all summer squashes are varieties of Cucurbita pepo, though not all Cucurbita pepo are considered summer squashes. The delicate flavor, soft shell and creamy white flesh of summer squash is a perfect addition to any summer meal.
