Chilled Soups?
| Mon, 07-19-2004 - 3:39pm |
I have been having this strange craving for cold soup. It has been so hot and I am craving light, cool meals that don't require much time on the stove. I noticed that there were some summer soup recipies highlighted on the main ivillage page today and I thought we could maybe share some chilled soup ideas or recipies that are SBD friendly. Anyone know any good ones outside of the traditional gazpacho? I am going to try the chilled tomato soup from the SBD cookbook this week and I'll let you know how it is.

1 pound tomatoes, chopped (about 4 tomatoes)
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped seedless cucumber
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 avocados, diced (about 2 cups)
Make the soup: Combine all ingredients except avocado in a large bowl. Mash lightly with a potato masher, stir in 1 cup water, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour or up to 6. Stir in the avocado and serve immediately.
Here's one I've made.
This is one I make at the end of summer, when I have too much zucchini in the garden.
I posted a Cream of Asparagus Soup a while back that would be good cold. I'm sure it would come up on a search (find messages about....)

PS And the gazpacho recipe in the SBD book is really good -- sounds similar to one of the ones in the first post or so.
