Anyone who has ever had a garden, and planted yellow squash or zucchini, knows that no matter how many you plant, you end up with an abundance of summer squash. They are one of the most prolific crops you can plant!

Then, there is the added frustration when you walk out to the garden and you missed one yesterday. Frighteningly, today it is 2 feet long and weighs about 3 pounds.

Now with zucchini, you can cut out the large seeds, grate in a food processor and then freeze for use in breads, cakes and pesto. Unfortunately there are not as many uses for yellow squash, although you can freeze it to make this soup later in the year.
