I've also prepared this in my crock pot, add everything except the Velveeta and cilantro. Cook on low for 4-5 hours adding the Velveeta and cilantro during the last 30 minutes so it has a chance to melt. You can also substitute a can of Rotel tomatoes for the stewed tomatoes if you prefer it spicy.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
28 ounces chicken broth

2 medium zucchini, sliced
2 medium yellow squash, sliced
1 (14 ounce) can corn (i'm guessing at the size)
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
12 ounces velveeta cheese, cubed
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
cilantro, to taste

1. Saute onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil.
2. Add oregano, chicken broth and tomatoes.
3. Cover and bring to a boil.
4. Stir in squash, corn and green chilies.
5. Return to boil and simmer till squash is tender.
