Killer Squash and Zucchini Soup image

My neighbor fixed this soup and gave me some - it was so good that I begged for the recipe. I was amazed at how easy this was to make. With zucchini and squash growing in my garden I came home and made it right away based on her loose instructions. Like me, she cooks by instinct and taste rather than using a written recipe most...
