This chilled yellow squash and leek soup is a vibrant and refreshing vegetarian dish, perfect for warm summer days when you want something light yet sophisticated. The sweetness of the yellow crookneck squash is beautifully balanced by the earthy citrus notes of toasted coriander seeds. It is an elegant starter or a simple lunch that makes the most of seasonal summer vegetables, offering a velvety texture and a bright, sunshine-yellow colour.
Prepared ahead of time, this cold soup is ideal for stress-free entertaining or a healthy, homemade midday meal. The addition of a zesty lemon crème fraîche provides a creamy, tangy finish that cuts through the delicate flavours of the broth.

Ingredients for Chilled Yellow Squash and Leek Soup With Coriander and Lemon Crème Fraîche
1 tablespoon olive oil
180ml chopped leek (white and pale green parts only
about 1 medium)
1 teaspoon (scant) coriander seeds
575g yellow crookneck squash, coarsely chopped
1 (400g) can vegetable broth
60ml crème fraîche or soured cream
1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
How to make Chilled Yellow Squash and Leek Soup With Coriander and Lemon Crème Fraîche
Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add leek and coriander and cook until almost tender, stirring often, about 6 minutes. Add squash; sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté until squash begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add broth. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Transfer to bowl and chill uncovered until cold, about 3 hours. Season with salt.
Whisk crème fraîche and grated lemon peel in small bowl. Divide soup among bowls, drizzle with lemon crème fraîche, and serve.
