Chilled Spiced Yellow-Squash Soup image

Summer squash was the featured ingredient in last week's "The Way We Eat" column in the NY Times Magazine. At this time of year you can never have too many squash recipes, so although I haven't tried it, I thought I'd share this one with you.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.
