Summer Squash Soup

Summer squash soup? What a revelation! This soup is light and lemony, with a delightful range of flavors from our Emerald City Seasoning. Lemon thyme and chives are paired with pink and green  peppercorn for a mild seasoning that allows the yellow squash to shine through. A quick and easy cook time yields this beautiful dish that is very refreshing on a hot summer day. You can serve it lightly chilled or gently warmed alongside other summer favorites.

Emerald City Seasoning

Get a taste of the Pacific Northwest! This rainy corner of the country we call home has a subtle and simple culinary character. In short, we love our local flavors and like to let them shine through. From salmon or shellfish straight off the boat to freshly picked apples and blackberries to mushrooms and fiddlehead ferns gathered in the forest, we enjoy the bounty from every part of the region.

Enter our Emerald City Seasoning. This blend pairs an herbaceous base of savory, lemon thyme and chives with pink and green peppercorns for a light and playful taste which will enhance, but not overpower, your food.
