Chicken with Zucchini and Yellow Squash

Today was the day when Day light savings begins. And the weather has been weird. Its cold till 10.00 AM and then it gets super hot and then by 4.00 PM its getting cold again. Soup time is here. I didn't have many vegetables in my fridge but I had a couple of Zucchinis and Yellow Squash. So using those I made a delicious silky soup with Chicken and served it with flat bread and brown rice. Whatever you prefer to eat it with, it is delicious.
