Summer is the time for cold soups. I'd love some new ideas

[cali]

I love gazpacho. I make a nice cold curried zucchini soup and my favorite is a cold corn soup. But I'd love some new recipes.

If you have some, please share.

Thanks.

1. chilled asparagus soup

is great. Martha Stewart has one online using onions, cooked asparagus, salt and chicken or vegetable stock in the blender.

Use only the white part, or white and green part, of the leek. I've made it twice so far this summer, always to rave reviews.

4. Someone just mentioned borscht,

on another thread. I've never even thought of making it, but I love it!

6. It's funny, I love beets but I've never even tried borscht.

Thanks for the suggestion.

5. Cold cucumber yogurt soup with dill

This is very good! I've tried it several times. I had a bumper crop of cucumbers this year and needed ideas!

10. Awesome!

I made a few batches my self and really enjoyed it! Perfect for not turning on the stove or oven! It's been 104-107 degrees down here for a few days!

Tonight I am planning on a chilled chopped salad with cold pasta!
