Squash, they are my special plants to grow in the garden, I like to try lots of different varieties, and I always think of my Granny and the timeI spent gardening with her when I was little. It seems like so many of my memories are tied in with food, growing food, harvesting food.

I want to give my kids those same memories! And I hope this soup inspires you to try your hand at growing some amazing heirloom squash this summer.
