  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup milk or light cream

  5. Stir in the sliced summer squash and cook for 3–4 minutes.
  6. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  7. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the squash becomes tender.
