Summer Soup Recipes

I love soup and even in the blazing hot Florida summer heat, I will eat soup for lunch or dinner.

I am so sick of the heat already. It has been one of the hottest summers so far with the heat index hitting 110 degrees almost daily.

August and September are usually the hottest months of the year down here in Florida, but this year June and now July has been unbearably hot.

Summer Squash Recipes

Squash season is in high gear and if you have a garden you are probably looking for ways to use up all the squash you have growing in your garden. If you don't have a garden but love squash you will love this Summer Squash Soup recipe. I used a combination of yellow long neck squash and zucchini squash.

If your not a zucchini fan you could make it with just yellow squash or vise versa.

Make this slow cooker squash soup recipe using vegetable stock and it is a very tasty vegetarian soup recipe. 

I actually used vegetable stock when I make it.

But if you're not following a vegetarian diet you can use chicken stock.

Gluten Free Crock Pot Soup Recipes

I do not follow a gluten-free diet. I do follow a low carb diet most of the time.

I have many recipes that would be considered gluten-free but because I do not know all the ins and outs of where gluten is hiding I don't usually tag my recipes as gluten-free.

There are a few gluten-free recipes on my blog from when I worked with a couple of gluten-free companies.

You might want to check out the Halloween Candy Corn Pudding recipe if you have kids who are gluten-free.
