This chilled soup is good for a hot, summer day. We found this one after my daughter had a similar soup on a cruise and came home raving about it. Ingredients:

1 tablespoon cooking oil |
1 medium onion, chopped |
6 cups chicken broth |
white pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 -4 lbs any summer squash, peeled and sliced |
1 sprig fresh basil |
sour cream (or plain yogurt) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet heat butter and oil; saute onion.
2. Add broth, salt, pepper, squash, and basil.
3. Cook over low heat 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Let cool.
5. Puree in blender in portions.
6. Season to taste with white pepper.
7. Chill.
8. When ready to serve, garnish each bowl with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
