This recipe comes from my Other Half, We like it in the summertime, although we do serve it up throughout the year--usually hot when first made & then as a cold leftover!

Time 55m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs summer squash, yellow
1 1/2 lbs zucchini
1 quart half-and-half
1 (16 ounce) package Velveeta cheese
1 onion, medium, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Steps:

  • Slice the squash into a large sauce pan & cover with water.
  • Cook until very tender, then drain off the water.
  • Divide the squash & mash half of it, then in the original sauce pan, mix all the squash together with the half-and-half.
  • On medium heat, reheat the squash mixture.
  • Meantime, cut the Velveeta cheese into chunks.
  • When the squash is again hot, add the cheese to the hot mixture, stirring it often as the cheese melts.
  • The chopped onion & garlic salt can be added as the cheese continues to melt.
  • When all the cheese is melted, the soup is ready to serve hot. If it's to be served cold, let it cool, then chill it in the refrigerator.
