Thank you barbogold! I made this last weekend and loved it ... so much so that I made it again this morning.

Christina, so happy that you liked it. All a person has to do is try it
and then their addicted to it I just bought some crookneck yellow
squash today so that I can make some more. Dh always sez 'bring it
on, he loves it.

Hey low carbers out there....Try it ... you'll love it.

Any idea of Carb count? I LOVE me some soup and this one looks like my DH will eat it (creamy and cheesey ...bring it on for him).

These counts are based on using the higher amount of any ingredients listed and a small onion (2 1/2 ounces).

Many thanks! I'm going to try this. Sounds yummy for a cold day! And we got them coming

This is the best - I added leftover ground beef and some green chilies to make nacho cheese soup - I loved it when my coworker came up to me to complain yet again how atkins was was so unhealthy, and I wasn't eating enough veggies , pointing out that there was a pound of veggies in it- gotcha!

Oh btw, you can also do the yellow squash trick with chili so it's less soupy - makes it wonderful and thick . Thanks for the idea LindaSue!

Question: Is yellow crookneck squash the same as summer squash--you know,like zucchini but yellow?

OMGosh, this sounds DEEELISH!!!
I can't wait to try this!!!
Thanks so much!!!
