Cold Soups

[Janice]

I love cold soups. Does anyone have a good recipe that they have tried for any cold soup? Just give ones you have tried, thanks. Mango, cucumber, etc. I tried the cucumber soup and it turned out great. Cucumbers sliced in the processor really thin, lots of fresh dill and plain yogurt. You can process as thin as you want.

I love soup, but HOT soup.

The only cold "soup" that I eat is cereal with milk. lol

There's a recipe thread in here somewhere. I don't know if there's any cold soup recipes in the thread or not. Do a search for "recipes" in the Off Topic forum.

My mother makes a wonderful Potage Celestine that I think originally came from Julia Child. I'll ask her for the recipe next time we talk.

I also love cold soup! My favorite is gazpacho, but I have also had a cucumber-melon and I think a little mint also? soup. It was very good. I think it was cukes, honeydew and maybe a little mint and yogurt all blended together. Very good on a hot day. I don't know if I still have the recipe. I will look and post it if I have it. It won't be 'til later in the week though as I am not at home for the next few days.

I have my preference to hot soup, no matter the season.

All this talk about soups is making me wanna get a nice bowl of hot chicken noodle soup. MMMMMMMMMM-MMMMMMMM!!!

I don't have the recipe (those were in the now-defunct Community Forum) but I had cold strawberry soup in Germany that was just fabulous! My brother and I had been hiking in the mountains, and although it was May and supposed to be cool then, the temp was in the low 90's. We hit the hotel restaurant and just wanted something cold. Since ice comes dear in Europe (at least, in a drink) the waitress brought us the ice-cold strawberry soup. Now that you've reminded me, I need to surf around for a recipe. It was really that good!

Jen, the community forum was merged with off-topic so all ya need to do is a search and you should be able to find it (although i did a search on strawberry with your name and didn't find it).
