Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted margarine
2 medium size yellow onions, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 strips lemon peel, each about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide
3 strips orange peel, each about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
2 medium size yellow squash, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 cups low sodium chicken broth

5 teaspoons lemon juice

How to make Yellow Squash Soup

In a medium size heavy saucepan, melt the margarine over low heat.
Add the onions, garlic, lemon peel, orange peel, bay leaf, and marjoram, and cook, covered, until the onion is soft about 10 minutes.
Mix in the squash, stirring to coat; add the chicken broth and salt.
Raise the heat to moderately high, cover, and bring to a boil.
Adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles gently, cover, and simmer until the squash is soft when pierced with a fork about 25 minutes.
Remove the soup from the heat; remove and discard the lemon and orange peels and the bay leaf.
Stir in the lemon juice and ladle into soup bowls.
