Squash Blossom Soup
This is a great "planned over" meal! Planned Over meals are those meals that the first meal is made knowing what will be done for the second meal with any remaining food. These meals can often be better than the first meal. The first meal here was Baked Chicken on Yellow Squash with Tomatillo Sauce (see recipes for sauce). This meal is wonderful on its own. And the second meal, well, Squash Blossom Soup. Enjoy!
